our anniversary project

Tom Wahlig visited La Jolla

during a private trip  Dr. Wahlig attended the SALK Institute in La Jolla (San Diego /CAL) with his wife.

We met the team Winkler/Winner working on our project

 "Personalized human cell culture model the hereditary spastic paraplegia," .

Read the program of this visit.

Our impression was excellent. A very young team (pictured),works with great enthusiasm and infinite persistence to develop  from skin- cells of HSP sufferers via reverse into pluripotent stem cells finally neurons, to study the other behavior of these neurons versus not affected. We could see first neurons by microskopy. 

"the Wahlig 's" thank  on behalf of all HSP sufferers for the laborious legwork of this research group.
