The Evan Snyder Laboratory with its Stem Cell & Regeneration Programme concentrates on basic research of stem cells.

By understanding the guiding of stem cells’ behaviour, this basic knowledge can be transfered to therapies of human diseases, such as neurological disorders, cardiovascular diseases or endocrine diseases.
