How neuronal axons grow? Modelling of axonal growth and filopodia dynamics.

What defines neuronal/axonal growth? Intrinsic factors that promote axonal regeneration after insult.

Molecular and evolutionary aspects of prominent hubs/nodes in signalling pathways: Ras/Erk and PI3K/Akt pathways, lipid signalling (phosphoinositides, lipid phosphate agonists).

Pharmacological targeting; Relevance for human diseases with emphasis given on neurodevelopmental disorders (neurofibromatosis type 1, autism, schizophrenia).
