Synopsis
Brain is cool follows Lisa, a young, dynamic brain researcher, in her daily endeavours in and around the tech hub of Belval.
Together with her colleagues of the Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine (LCSB), Lisa develops a model that allows to better study Parkinson disease, by means of microscopic cell cultures, so-called mini-brains.
Lisa takes us into this scientific world where the professional career is tightly linked to the publication of the results of the research. As they say among researchers: publish or perish. That’s only one of the challenges Lisa is confronted to.
