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.

SUMMARY:ICVS Advanced Seminar “Individual reward preference in isogenic mouse populations”
DESCRIPTION:April 30th at 13 pm\, don’t miss Christian Lüscher’s “Individual reward preference in isogenic mouse populations” at the A0.03 auditorium in UMinho’s School of Medicine. \nChristian Lüscher is a Full Professor and group leader at the Faculty of Medicine\, Department of Basic Neurosciences from Geneva University Neurocenter. His lab is interested in the cellular mechanisms that underlie drug reinforcement\, dependence and addiction\, particularly focusing on neuroadaptive changes and pathological synaptic plasticity at the mesolimbic dopamine system. Professor Lüscher has received many grants and awards recognizing his impressive contribution to his research field\, namely two ERC Advanced grants and the Chica and Heinz Schaller Foundation Award in Translational Neuroscience. He is also part of the Board of Reviewing Editors of the prestigious journal Science.
