We are pleased to announce that the 2nd ESN-ISN Neurochemistry School is now launching a call for additional travel scholarships.

This Advanced School entitled “Targeting molecular mechanisms underlying neurodegeneration: focus on advanced therapies”, will take place in Faro, Portugal, on October 29 to November 4, 2023 and will bring together 24 young scientists (PhD students and postdocs, competitively chosen) from European and neighbouring countries with distinguished faculty. During this week attendees will enjoy a rich program, designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the latest developments in the field.

Attendees will receive full support for travel, lodging, and all incurred expenses during the School term and will have the opportunity to attend lectures and technical lectures, workshops, and hands-on laboratory activities; networking sessions and a range of social activities will further facilitate interactions among participants and faculty.

The deadline for application submission is September 25, 2023.

Full scholarships are limited, please apply at: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc8iWOar5059b_1ENYvE1kKM1FbhuaqYyv9nLGbIJlRkbjBYQ/viewform?usp=sf_link

Open Position: Research assistant, PhD student or Post-doc position in the laboratory of Developmental Neurobiology, PI Prof. Christina Kyrousi

Posted by Prof. Christina Kyrousi (Medical School, NKUA and University Mental Health Research Institute, Athens, Greece).

Location: University Mental Health Research Institute, Athens, Greece

The Kyrousi team at the UMHRI (Athens, Greece) is welcoming applications for a Research assistant, PhD student or Post-doc position funded by the HFRI research grant program, which offers a fixed-term contract. 

Research title: Deciphering the cellular and molecular mechanisms regulating human cortical development and brain-related disease manifestation using in vitro human-specific brain organoid models. 

Research/Team Background: The host team possesses a long-range experience in the field of Developmental Neurobiology. The lab is renowned for its expertise in studying neurodevelopment in vivo using the mouse embryo developing cortex and the human-specific in vitro system the human 3D brain organoids. We are collaborating with many national and international groups in the field of Developmental Neuroscience. The overarching goal of this project is to elucidate the role of genes found mutated in patients with Neurodevelopmental and Neurological disorders under the prism of development, evolution and disease. 

Your Profile: We are seeking a highly motivated candidate to be part of an HFRI-funded project with a secure salary (fixed-term private law employment contract or project lease contract). Experience in one or more of the following techniques will be highly appreciated: mouse-in-utero electroporation, immunofluorescence and confocal microscopy, iPSCs culture, and brain organoids. The candidate should hold at least an MSc in Neuroscience, Physiology, Molecular Biology, or similar fields. The candidate should be able to work both independently and as part of a team.

Dear Members, Colleagues, and Guests,

We are excited to announce that the 30th Meeting of the Hellenic Society for Neuroscience (HSfN) is scheduled to take place from November 24 to 26, 2023, at the National Centre for Scientific Research “Demokritos.”

Overview

This year’s meeting will feature a blend of:

• Plenary Lectures
• Symposia
• Oral Presentations
• Poster Sessions

These events will span various aspects of neuroscience research, allowing participants to delve into both well-established and emerging topics.

Language

Please note that the official language of the meeting is English, facilitating the participation of an international audience.

Mentorship and Career Development

One of the key elements of our biennial meeting is our commitment to mentorship and career development. We strive to support our graduate students and early-stage investigators. This year’s meeting will feature:

• Special sessions aimed at career development
• Networking opportunities
• Initiatives to increase the visibility of young scientists
• 26 short talks delivered by young scientists, selected from the submitted abstracts
• A large number of studentships awarded to facilitate the participation (travel and accommodation) of young scientists

Anticipated Outcomes

We believe that the HSfN’s 30th Meeting will be an invaluable forum for our young scientists. It will not only offer them a chance to increase the visibility of their research but will also provide an opportunity to learn about cutting-edge developments in neuroscience from leading researchers and scientists.

Abstract Submission Deadline

Please note that the deadline for abstract submissions is estimated to be at the end of September 2023. Detailed guidelines and submission procedures will be announced shortly.
