Host: Biomedical Imaging Institute
About the event:
A panel of international experts will address the latest developments in preclinical and clinical research on neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration, and particularly the role of the mitochondrial translocator protein (TSPO) in neurological disease.
Invited speakers will include:
• Prof Hugh Perry (University of Southampton)
• Prof Michael Kassiou (University of Sydney)
• Prof Vassilios Papadopoulos (McGill University)
• Dr Federico Roncaroli (Imperial College London)
• Dr David Owen (Imperial College London)
Anyone who is interested in “Microglia Imaging and Biology” is highly welcome to join us for two days of stimulating and enjoyable scientific exchange and discussions. Please submit abstracts for poster and platform presentations and register online by visiting the TSPO website.
Please pass this information on to colleagues who you think might be interested in attending the symposium.
I hope you will be able to join us.
