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 Seminar “Tripartite Synapses: Astrocyte regulation of synaptic function\, network activity and animal behavior”
DESCRIPTION:Join Us for the ICVS Advanced Seminar Series \nICVS Advanced Seminars\, a weekly series aimed at fostering discussion on cutting-edge research\, take place every Thursday at EM. \nAlfonso Araque\, Professor in the Department of Neuroscience – University of Minneapolis\, USA \n\n“Tripartite Synapses: Astrocyte regulation of synaptic function\, network activity and animal behavior”\n\nAlfonso Araque is a professor in the Department of Neuroscience – University of Minneapolis\, USA. His research interests focus on the mechanisms\, properties\, and physiological consequences of the communication between neurons and astrocytes. He employs electrophysiological\, opto/chemogenetic tools and imaging experimental approaches to understand how the communication between neurons and astrocytes affects physiological and pathological aspects of brain function.
