معرفی
Bert Brône is a researcher affiliated with the Neurophysiology Laboratory at BIOMED, Hasselt University (UHasselt). His primary focus is on understanding the developmental origins of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and schizophrenia, exploring how genetic mutations and environmental factors like pollution, stress, and infections during pregnancy disrupt brain growth. His work bridges biomedical research and translational medicine, aiming to develop innovative therapies.
Key research lines include: (1) immune cell transplantation to address memory deficits in schizophrenia, and (2) identifying nerve cell mutations linked to ASD. These discoveries highlight potential pathways for prevention and treatment, though further funding is critical to accelerate progress.
Brône collaborates with the University Fund UHasselt to secure resources for his projects. Public engagement is emphasized through initiatives like Campus Classes, where researchers discuss their work with the community.
