Brief description of event:
The 5th satellite meeting on Neural Stem Cells (NSCs) will bring together experts and trainees in the field of embryonic/postnatal stem cells, neurodevelopmental disorders and brain tumors to exchange ideas and discuss recent data. The speakers from multiple institutions across Canada and all career stages will discuss recent advances in the field of stem cell biology and provide insights on how NSC dysfunction may lead to distinct pathological states. The speakers will cover topics spanning from the mechanisms underlying NSCs maintenance and function (session 1) to how NSCs dysfunction leads to brain tumors and various neurodevelopmental disorders (session 2). We hope that this meeting will further catalyze the interactions between Canadian neural stem cell researchers.
