Reprogramming Stars #2:Reprogramming Towards Neural Lineages—An Interview with Dr. Henrik Ahlenius

Reprogramming Star: Dr. Henrik Ahlenius is a principal investigator at the Department of Clinical Sciences and Lund Stem Cell Center at Lund University in Sweden. The Ahlenius lab uses novel stem cell, genome engineering and reprogramming technologies to study how aging and neurological disorders affect the formation and function of neural cells. The lab has recently been focused on reprogramming towards the astroglial lineage for investigating the role of astrocytes in neurodegenerative disease.
