Research

The Suter lab is interested in the fundamental roles of cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix interactions in the control of cell proliferation, cell migration, cell differentiation and cell death in development, maintenance, disease and repair of the nervous system.

Neuron-Glia Interactions in Health and Disease

We follow a functional approach that is aimed at understanding the interactions between neurons and glia cells, with an emphasis on one of the most intriguing cellular specialization in vertebrates, Myelination, and its fascinating biology.
