Investigating Parkinson's disease pathology through the use of iPS cell technology
The ninth edition of the IDIBELL PhD Day was held at the Bellvitge Campus of the UB, where all our PhD students presented posters and oral presentations.
A big well done to David Piñol, Veronica Testa, and Jara Montero Muñoz… but especially to Valentina Baruffi – who was awarded the prize of “Best Oral Presentation”!
EMBO Workshop (Capri, Italy): Unlocking human brain complexity using 3D culture and single-cell omics.
PhD student Veronica Testa produced and presented a poster on the contribution of astrocytes and microglia to PD pathology using hiPSC modelling and scRNA sequencing. Favulosa!
SSIEM Anual Symposium in Porto, Portugal. PhD student David Piñol presented, updating attendees on the results from his thesis work on 3D modelling of THD pathology using patient-derived brain organoids.
Great Work David!
This year we have welcomed summer with a Tropical themed party!
We have attented the NeuroBell Retreat organized by the IDIBELL’s neuroscience research program coordinators, Dr Antonella Consiglio and Dr Antoni Martínez. It was a great opportunity to meet our colleagues, share our research, and even start new sinergies!
You can access our most recent paper titled: Blocking IL-6 signaling prevents astrocyte-induced neurodegeneration in an iPSC-based model of Parkinson’s disease that has been published in JCI Insight here: https://insight.jci.org/articles/view/163359
There is not only science in our laboratory, we had time also to celebrate Christmas and share good food and gifts among labmates.
We attented the 1st RegenBell Symposium on Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine, organized by the Regenerative Medicine Program from IDIBELL.
Congratulations to Veronica Testa and David Piñol, PhD students of the lab, for the awards for the best oral communitation and best poster!
Our PhD students participated in the 8th IDIBELL PhD day at The University of Barcelona.
