Renewed partnership reinforces Bangalore collaborations

Mar 16: A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been renewed between the institutes at the Bangalore Life Science Cluster and The University of Edinburgh on the 18th of February 2016.

This renewal furthers a partnership which has already been in place for several years. The original MoU with the University of Edinburgh laid the foundations for a major collaborative program on brain development, the Centre for Neurodevelopmental Synaptopathies (CNS) which brought together researchers at NCBS, inStem and Edinburgh and a range of expertise in several fields of neurobiology including neurodevelopment, synaptic function and plasticity, human stem cells and cognition-behavior.

This video explains more about the partnership and the research they are doing:
