Translational neuroscience moves forward

The 2015 Bertarelli Symposium on Translational Neuroscience and Neuroengineering was held on April 17 at Campus Biotech in Geneva.

The symposium brought together scientists from Harvard Medical School and the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) to discuss the work that they undertake collaboratively as part of the transatlantic research program of the same name. The aim of the Bertarelli Program at Harvard Medical School is to “bridge the existing gap between basic and translational neuroscience, by supporting basic and clinical research oriented towards translational opportunities, by creating stronger ties among scientists, engineers and clinicians, and by training the next generation of leaders in the field.”
