The Chemical and Molecular Neurobiology group, led by Associate Prof. Ivana Nikić-Spiegel, develops advanced tools to decipher the molecular mechanisms behind brain diseases.

A glimpse into our research

Bridging scales: from molecules to neurodegeneration

We develop and apply advanced imaging and chemical biology tools to study how brain cells and proteins function and interact in both healthy and diseased states. By using nanoscale imaging and molecular techniques, we investigate processes that get disrupted in diseases like multiple sclerosis, aiming to uncover cellular and molecular pathways that could guide the development of targeted therapies.
