SUMMARY:ICVS Seminar “Promoting Spinal Cord Injury Regeneration through the Combination of Stem Cell Secretome and the Omega-3 fatty acid Docosahexaenoic acid”
DESCRIPTION:Next Monday at 1 pm\, don’t miss Jonas Campos “Promoting Spinal Cord Injury Regeneration through the Combination of Stem Cell Secretome and the Omega-3 fatty acid Docosahexaenoic acid” at the A0.03 auditorium in UMinho’s School of Medicine. \nJonas Campos has a BSc in Nutrition Sciences by the São Camilo University Center and a Master’s degree in Biochemistry by the University of Beira Interior. He is currently a 4th year PhD student at the Life and Health Sciences Research Institute in the School of Medicine at the University of Minho. His work is centered on the development and study of the combined use of Mesenchymal Stem Cell secretome and the dietary omega-3 fatty acid Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) to promote regeneration for spinal cord injury. He is interested in the mechanistic understanding of how nutritional compounds and dietary interventions modulate stem cell function with the ultimate goal of leveraging this understanding for the development of regenerative strategies and therapies for neurological diseases\, in particular spinal cord injuries.

SUMMARY:ICVS Student Seminar “Unveiling tuberculosis susceptibility: the key role of alveolar macrophages”
DESCRIPTION:Next Monday at 1 pm\, don’t miss Consuelo Micheli “Unveiling tuberculosis susceptibility: the key role of alveolar macrophages” at the A0.03 auditorium in UMinho’s School of Medicine. \nI obtained a degree in Biological Science in 2015 and a Master degree in Molecular and Cellular Biology in 2019 both awarded by the University of Pisa (Pisa\, Italy). In 2020\, I moved to Portugal in the context of the Erasmus+ project to study the role of alveolar macrophages in tuberculosis immunity which allowed me to generate preliminary data to successfully secure a Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia (FCT) PhD fellowship. I am currently working as PhD student at the Life and Health Sciences Research Institute (ICVS) investigating the immune response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. In 2024\, in the context of the work that I am developing in my PhD program\, I was awarded with a European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ESCMID) research grant to investigate the role of alveolar macrophages in resistance vs susceptibility to the intracellular pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

SUMMARY:ICVS Advanced Seminars “Automating analysis and training in focused cardiac ultrasound”
DESCRIPTION:Sandro Queirós (SQ) graduated in Biomedical Engineering in 2013 by the University of Minho (Portugal). In 2018\, he completed a joint Ph.D. degree in Biomedical Engineering by the University of Minho (Portugal) and in Biomedical Sciences by KU Leuven (Belgium). Since 2018\, SQ is a full-time researcher at ICVS\, having been granted an FCT-funded junior research position in 2020.\nThroughout his research career\, Sandro has been mainly interested in the development of novel medical imaging processing solutions to help clinicians in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Specifically\, his work has been focused primarily on cardiovascular diseases – the leading cause of death in the world. He has been the leading developer of novel image processing methodologies for cardiac function quantification\, as well as novel technological solutions for preoperative planning\, intraoperative guidance\, and postoperative evaluation of transcatheter heart interventions. More recently\, his work aims at developing novel artificial intelligent solutions for automatic medical training and diagnosis in echocardiography.\nOverall\, SQ (co-)authored 40 peer-reviewed articles\, 39 full proceedings\, and 29 conference abstracts\, totaling an accumulated IF of 184\, >1300 citations and an h-index of 21. His research outputs have also led to 2 international and 1 Portuguese invention patents\, 2 provisional patents and the commercial licensing of an image tracking software. SQ has also (co-)supervised the thesis of 4 Ph.D. (ongoing)\, 10 M.Sc. (3 ongoing) and 6 B.Sc. students.

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.

SUMMARY:ICVS Advanced Seminar “Tauopathy in Alzheimer´s disease and Frontotemporal dementia”
DESCRIPTION:April 27th at 12 pm\, don’t miss Karen Duff’s “Tauopathy in Alzheimer´s disease and Frontotemporal dementia” at the A0.02 auditorium in UMinho’s School of Medicine. \nProfessor Duff is the Centre Director of the UK Dementia Research Institute at University College London and Professor Emerita\, Columbia University Medical Center\, New York. \nShe received her PhD from Sydney Brenner’s department at the University of Cambridge. She undertook postdoc positions in London with Alison Goate and John Hardy at the University of South Florida. She was an Assistant Professor at the University of South Florida\, Associate Professor at Mayo Clinic Jacksonville\, and Professor at the New York University Nathan Kline Institute. Deputy director of the Taub Institute at Columbia University from 2006 – 2019. \nProfessor Duff explores disease mechanisms and test therapeutic approaches to Alzheimer’s disease\, FTD and other dementias. Her current interests are exploring the mechanisms involved in the spread of pathogenic proteins within the brain\, understanding the basis of selective cellular vulnerability and resilience to tauopathy and developing new mouse and cell models to understand the earliest stages in tau pathogenesis.
