Investigating Parkinson's disease pathology through the use of iPS cell technology
For the 8th SLHAM de Dones Cientifiques, to celebrate women in science, our lovely Meritxell Pons Espinal presented on stem cell modelling of neuropathology in Parkinson’s, which one of the key focuses of our lab.
Thank you to Meri and all of our other astounding female scientists, we hope to inspire the next in line for generations to come!
In our final week, following some festive activities, we ended the year with the Valentina Baruffi´s thesis defense on Modelling Neuro-Immune Interactions in Parkinson´s Disease Using an Autologous-Based iPSC System.
Following this head-turning presentation (and some champagne!) we are proud to announce her successful award of the PhD. Bravo, Doctor Baruffi!
2024 RegenBell Symposium on Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine. In this two day information-packed collective, attracting science from here in Barcelona and beyond, our PhD student Valentina Baruffi conducted a talk on her thesis work on Microglia and T-Cell contribution to Parkinson’s Pathology.
Moreover, as the lunch break gave even more opportunity for science, poster presentations from David Piñol, Aurora Scrivo, Veronica Testa, Neus Otero and Jara Montero Muñoz turned heads among other scientists. We were also very pleased to meet other inspiring researchers from across Europe!
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!
