Program of the event

Event Report by Kim Nguyen-Ba-Charvet (Institut de la Vision)
"The ENP Neural Stem Cells Meeting brought together 120 participants at the Abbaye des Vaux de Cernay, nearby Paris, from the 17th June to the 19th June 2010.
The participants who attended the conference in this impressive historic backdrop hailed from all over the globe (Japan, New Zealand, Canada, USA, Israel, Spain, Sweden, Germany, UK, Belgium, etc…).
The speakers presented their most recent work in the field and the talks covered all of the domains of research in neural stem cells : from their development to more therapeutic aspects. On top of the invited speakers, a few abstracts had been selected to present as short talks.
The innovative work of these young researchers also sparked a considerable amount of interest. All the presentations led to numerous questions and certain debates continued late into the night. The reduced number of participants allowed students to readily communicate with the speakers and certain students approaching the end of their theses were thus able to network for future post-doctoral positions.
After reading the messages of appreciation, we can conclude that this conference was a huge success. Many participants even expressed the desire to return for a second edition..."

June 3-4, 2010 - Fontenay-aux-Roses

Few months only after its official opening, MIRCen organizes its first scientific symposium on the hot topics of translational research.
This event will be a unique occasion to gather distinguished personalities of academic and industrial leader organizations around enriched discussions related to preclinical and clinical research. The selected topics covered, functional analysis, clinical applications and therapeutic strategies, will illustrate the cutting edge methods and experimental paradigms used in the field of cell and gene therapies for CNS disorders.
Selected lectures will present the specific contributions of MIRCen in these fields.

Program & Abstracts

Symposium with the participacion of Roger Y. TSIEN (Nobel Prize for Chemistry, 2008)

In front of the incredible complexity of the biological processes taking place in a living organisms, real-time measurement methods have always proved indispensable. We have witnessed in the last few years a tremendous development of biosensing proteins which now allow direct probing of biological events in living cells, tissue and even animal, thus radically changing our way of approaching biomedical questions.

Roger Y. Tsien, Nobel prize in Chemistry, will present his pioneering work in this domain, and other speakers of international renown will describe biosensors specific of various types of signals and their use in biology. This symposium thus provide an update on what will soon be routine experiment in many laboratories studying cell biology.

This symposium will also discuss prospective use of these methods in the the context of a living animal: what are the current obstacles and what can be imagined to overcome them.
