QBI-SBMS/MCN-GSN symposium on October 2nd, 2025

The one-day symposium will be held on October 2nd, 2025, in lecture hall D00.003 at LMU Biocenter, Grosshadernerstr.2, 82152 Martinsried, Germany.

Closely connected to the online tandem seminar series, the scientific meeting brings together faculty, postdocs, and PhD students from Queensland and Munich.

Consequently, the scope of the meeting will be broad: delegates of the Queensland Brain Institute (QBI) and the University of Queensland's (UQ) School of Biomedical Sciences (SBMS) and their Munich partners will address topics ranging from neural stem cells, organoid models and development to neuroimmunology, neural pathologies and control of circadian rhythms in 4 thematically stringent oral sessions.

The UQ delegation to the symposium will encompass representatives of the groups of Mathilde Balbi, Laura Fenlon, James Kesby, Michael Piper, Oliver Rawashdeh, Rodrigo Suarez, and Jana Vukovich (Emily Willis).

Munich participants will represent the groups of Florence Bareyre, Silvia Cappello (Veronica Pravata), Thomas Fenzl, Magdalena Götz, David Keays (Patrick Heisterkamp), Franziska Knolle, Christian Mayer, Nikolaus Plesnila, and Maria Robles.

All local PIs and group members of the wider neurosciences are invited to visit the event for a day of exciting science.
