As part of the institute, a \u201cCo-Lab\u201d is also being established, where visiting researchers or startups can rent workspaces and use ISAB\u2019s infrastructure. In this way, ISAB is strengthening the ecosystem of Switzerland Innovation Park Ost: In the future, startups and companies in St. Gallen will find a first-class research partner in the field of molecular biology, complemented by the existing ecosystem comprising Startfeld and the HSG START Accelerator.  <\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Science and the Public in Dialogue<\/strong><\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the opening event, guests from the fields of politics, research, healthcare, and innovation will discuss the societal significance of brain research.
