Prof. Dr. Aiman Saab

Fascinated by the brain’s intriguing cellular ecosystems, the Saab group is driven to understand the interplay between neurons, axons, and glial cells. The primary area of interest lies in unraveling the inner workings of the white matter, where glial cells collaborate with axons to maintain brain functions and ensure neural longevity. By studying how these cells work together, the team hopes to shed light on the mechanisms that underpin the brain’s resilience and uncover how disruptions in this balance contribute to neurological diseases and the aging process.
