SUMMARY:ICVS Advanced Seminar “Bad signal”: how spinal cord injury disrupts neuro-immune communications"
DESCRIPTION:January 8th at 1 pm\, don’t miss Susana Monteiro‘s “Bad signal”: how spinal cord injury disrupts neuro-immune communications” at the A0.03 auditorium in UMinho’s School of Medicine. \nSusana Monteiro is a neuroimmunologist with an MSc in Biomolecular Methods (University of Bristol\, UK and Universidade de Aveiro) and a PhD in Health Sciences (Universidade do Minho). During her scientific training\, she was involved in multiple research projects in the Neuroimmunology field – from clinical research searching for Multiple Sclerosis biomarkers to basic research understanding how the autonomic deregulation caused by chronic stress exposure impacts immunity. She joined the ReNEU team in 2016 for her postdoc working on understanding the contribution of inflammation for Spinal Cord Injury pathophysiology and conversely\, how injury to the spinal cord affects the neuronal pathways controlling the regulation of immune responses. Presently\, her current research interests are: 1) understanding how to engage efficient immune responses to CNS injury repair by manipulating peripheral autonomic neural circuits. 2) exploring how peripheral immune cells shape microglia behaviour and CNS local inflammation. 3) identifying peripheral targets for CNS immunomodulation and validating them in translational/clinical studies. In parallel to her scientific interests\, she is committed to student mentoring and science communication to inspire young minds to shape the future of scientific discovery.
