December 4th at 1 pm, don’t miss Hélène Léger‘s “NDR1/2 Kinases in Retinal Neurodegeneration: How NDR2 Shapes Microglial Activation and Neurovascular Dysfunction in Diabetes” at the A0.03 auditorium in UMinho’s School of Medicine.
Dr. Hélène Léger is a Junior Researcher in the Retinal Dysfunction & Neuroinflammation Lab at the Coimbra Institute for Clinical and Biomedical Research (iCBR), Faculty of Medicine, University of Coimbra. Her research focuses on how Hippo pathway kinases—particularly NDR1 and NDR2—regulate retinal inflammation, vascular function, and neurodegeneration. In this seminar, she will discuss how NDR2 orchestrates microglial activation and microglia–endothelial communication in the context of diabetic retinopathy.
