Unravelling the function of CAMK2 in brain development and its role in neurodevelopmental disorders

Project summary

CAMK2 is one of the most extensively studied enzymes in the adult brain, but its role in neurodevelopment remains unknown. In this study researchers will investigate the role of CAMK2 in neuronal development and study the downstream signaling pathways.

This study will provide new insights in the fundamental CAMK2 signalling processes that underlie normal brain development, and will lead to a better comprehension of how CAMK2 is involved in the aetiology of neurodevelopmental disorders.
