Research Communities

Scientific communities define the biological challenges NEXUS will address.

Research Communities connect biological questions to the Working Groups that provide technologies, training and collaborative routes to answer them.

SC1 — Cellular and tissue mechanisms

Cell division, migration, differentiation, polarity, tissue homeostasis and development.

SC2 — Neurobiology, behaviour, learning and memory

Neural circuits, behaviour, host seeking, plasticity and quantitative behavioural analysis.

SC3 — Ageing and human disease

Ageing, neurodegeneration, parasitic disease models, drug discovery and translational biology.

SC4 — Biodiversity, environmental impact and agroecosystems

Soil health, nematode biodiversity, sustainable agriculture and environmental monitoring.
