Three newly appointed research group leaders from the Danish Research Institute of Translational Neuroscience (DANDRITE) at Aarhus University are appointed as AIAS-DANDRITE fellows for a two-year period.

During their fellowship at AIAS, the DANDRITE Group Leaders will engage and integrate with the interdisciplinary and international research community at AIAS as well as work together on the overall theme of 'Translational Neuroscience.'

AIAS-DANDRITE Fellows

• Chao Sun, The Danish Research Institute of Translational Neuroscience (DANDRITE) & Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics - Neurobiology, Aarhus University 
  Research focus: 'Logistic vulnerabilities of brain synapses'
• Taro Kitazawa, The Danish Research Institute of Translational Neuroscience (DANDRITE) & Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics - Neurobiology, Aarhus University 
  Research focus:  'Molecular basis of neuroplasticity'
• Thomas Kim, The Danish Research Institute of Translational Neuroscience (DANDRITE) & Department of Biomedicine, Aarhus University

The AIAS-DANDRITE fellows have a shared office at AIAS, participate in the activities at AIAS and at the relevant research environments at DANDRITE. 

About DANDRITE

The Danish Research Institute of Translational Neuroscience (DANDRITE) is an interdisciplinary research centre established by the Lundbeckfonden and Aarhus University in 2013 and performs basic and translational research in the brain and the nervous system. DANDRITE aims at unravelling the molecular mechanisms that explain physiological manifestations of cellular communication in brain network circuitries and the nervous system and how these are affected in neurological and psychiatric disorders.
