October 16th at 1 pm, don’t miss Joana Silva’s “The interplay between Tau and RNA granules in Stress-induced neuronal dysfunction” at the A0.03 auditorium in UMinho’s School of Medicine.

Joana Margarida Silva graduated in Applied Biology and completed an MSc in Molecular Genetics in 2012. She obtained her PhD in Health Sciences from the School of Medicine, University of Minho, in 2017. In 2018, she was awarded a postdoctoral fellowship from the Canon Foundation and later received an FCT Individual Contract to investigate the role of Tau in nuclear processes, particularly its interplay with RNA-binding proteins. Since 2021, Joana has been a Junior Researcher at ICVS, in C2B, where she explores how chronic stress contributes to processes of neurodegeneration.
