Welcome to the 1st Minho Meeting on Spinal Cord Injury and 1st International Meeting of the Portuguese Network for SCI Research.
Spinal Cord Injuries are one of the most severe problems that can afflict the Central Nervous System with devastating consequences in the life of the patients. So far there are no effective therapies targeting this problem. Having this in mind the main objectives of this meeting are: - To discuss the most recent advances within the field and their possible translation to clinical practice. In order to do so, a list of leading experts in the field will present and discuss their most recent data on topics such as SCI pathophysiology, stem cells, biomaterials and regenerative medicine, pharmacotherapies and clinical applications. - To bring the community closer to the scientists and clinicians working in this field. Registration will be open to the public in general that will have the opportunity to directly interact with experts in the field. - To foster collaboration between groups from Portugal and Spain, with the rest of Europe and North America, by bringing closer these scientific communities and stimulate the discussion, so big steps can be given towards the progression of the field. Keynote talks, short oral presentations and poster sessions will be the basis of the symposium. We have thus put together an exciting and vibrant program for both scientists and public in general. We hope to see you in Braga! Meeting Chairs: António Salgado & Nuno Silva |
