XIII Neurobiology Symposium (Societat Catalana de Biologia)

The Societat Catalana de Biologia celebrated the 13th edition of their Neurobiology symposium, this week, at the Institut d’Estudis Catalans.

Marcos, Gunter, Armin and Maria Helena presented their research projects (excellent talks!), and Mònica won the best poster award.

Mònica’s poster was about the research they are carrying out in trying to understand the role that mitochondrial dsRNA has in triggering neuroinflammation in Leigh syndrome. To study this, they have set up a new viral vector approach that targets specific type of neurons, with the aim of reducing the dsRNA molecules that are present in one of the most affected areas of the mouse model of the disease.

What a team!! Congrats, guys!
