Three days of inspiring discussions, fourteen hours of online broadcasting, twenty speakers, and nearly one hundred and fifty participants — the first international PORT for Health: Neuroscience conference, organized by the Life Sciences and Biotechnology Center at Łukasiewicz – PORT, has come to an end.
In mid-October, Łukasiewicz – PORT hosted more than twenty distinguished scientists and clinicians in the field of human health from Europe, the United States, and China.
The conference was divided into three thematic sessions dedicated to affective disorders, neurodevelopmental disorders, and eating disorders.
Invited speakers discussed topics such as fundamental molecular mechanisms, the development of human disease models, drug discovery, and innovative targeted therapies in personalized medicine.
Our Institute was represented by:
Dr. Michał Ślęzak – leader of the Astrocyte Biology Research Group
Dr. Witold Konopka – leader of the Neuroplasticity and Metabolism Research Group
Dr. Tomasz Prószyński – leader of the Synaptogenesis Research Group
The PORT for Health: Neuroscience conference took place from October 13–15, 2021, in a hybrid format, marking the first international scientific and medical conference organized by Łukasiewicz – PORT.
The topic of next year’s conference will be oncology.
See you next year!
