Webinar "Italy-Japan approaches to neural regeneration"

The Science and Technology Office of the Embassy of Italy in Japan organizes a webinar on "Italy-Japan approaches to neural regeneration". The event will take place on June 8th, 2022 from 3:50 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Japan time (8:50 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.).

The spontaneous recovery of peripheral neural injuries, though greater than regeneration after injury of the central nervous system, is often incomplete, without reaching sufficient functionalities. Stem cell therapies are gaining attention as one of the most interesting approaches in the field of nerve repair therapies.

The event aims at showcasing the two Countries' research excellence on the use of stem cells and regenerative medicine for neurological repair. The webinar is organized in collaboration with the Neuroscience Institute Cavalieri Ottolenghi (NICO), University of Turin, under the framework of the Italian Research Day in Japan 2022 and of the Memorandum of Cooperation in the Field of Health and Medical Sciences between the Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare and Italy’s Ministry of Health.

 
Participants include:

• Prof. Stefano Geuna (Rector of the University of Turin)
• Prof. Annalisa Buffo (Neuroscience Institute Cavalieri Ottolenghi (NICO), University of Turin)
• Prof. Alessandro Vercelli, President of the Italian Neuroscience Society, Scientific Director of NICO, University of Turin.

The language of reference will be English.
