Tackling the Challenges of Neuroscience: from molecules to minds

Understanding the brain remains one of the greatest scientific challenges of our time. Despite remarkable advances in genetics, molecular biology and imaging technologies, neurological and psychiatric disorders continue to affect hundreds of millions of people worldwide.

This session brings together leading researchers working across different scales of neuroscience — from the molecular mechanisms of neuronal degeneration to new tools, including artificial intelligence, which promise to revolutionise our understanding of diseases and the development of new therapies.

Kicking off the celebrations for i3S’s 10th anniversary, this session reinforces i3S’s commitment to tackling complex biological problems through interdisciplinary research, spanning from fundamental research to clinical application.

The program concludes with a tribute to Maria João Saraiva, whose scientific work and dedication to training young researchers have left a lasting mark on neuroscience in Portugal.
