ISN-PORT Neuroscience School: Role of Metabolism in Neurodegeneration
About
About the School
The ISN-PORT Neuroscience School: Role of Metabolism in Neurodegeneration is a focused 5-day training program designed to equip early-career neuroscientists with the knowledge, skills, and network to explore the complex relationship between cellular metabolism and neurodegenerative diseases.
Metabolic dysfunction is increasingly recognized as a key driver of neurodegeneration, impacting neuronal survival, glial function, and overall brain homeostasis. Addressing these dynamics requires a multidisciplinary approach combining neurochemistry, molecular neuroscience, and translational research.
This school offers a unique platform for deep scientific engagement through lectures, interactive discussions, and hands-on technical training led by internationally renowned faculty.
It will take place at the Life Sciences & Biotechnology Center, Łukasiewicz Research Netework – PORT Polish Center for Technology Development, in Wrocław, Poland . (20–24 October 2025)
