AxoBrain Mapping the axolotl brain and its regeneration

Coordinator: INSTITUT FUER MOLEKULARE BIOTECHNOLOGIE GMBH (AT)

The Axolotl is an extraordinary model system to study regeneration in tetrapods. Remarkably, the axolotl isable to regenerate parts of the brain after major injury, however the molecular mechanisms that orchestrateregeneration are unclear, and the completeness of functional circuit and behavioral recovery is unknown. Ourvision is to develop the axolotl model system to rigorously study central nervous system regeneration, anduse discoveries from the axolotl to design novel strategies for regenerating mammalian tissues. The mappingof brain cell types and connections in the axolotl will also hav…

About Horizon Europe (2021–2027)

Horizon Europe is the EU's current research and innovation programme, covering 2021 to 2027 with a budget of roughly €95.5 billion. Its three pillars are Excellent Science (frontier research and mobility), Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness (mission-driven collaborative projects in health, climate, digital, security and food) and Innovative Europe (the EIC and EIT). It also funds five EU Missions targeting cancer, climate adaptation, smart cities, oceans and soils.

EU contribution: €8.9M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 6 years from 2024-04-01 to 2030-03-31.
