Professor Stefano Pluchino
Join the Cambridge Neurological Society for a fascinating talk by Professor Stefano Pluchino, Clinical Professor of Regenerative Neuroimmunology at the University of Cambridge.
Professor Pluchino is a leading figure in regenerative neuroimmunology, whose research focuses on next-generation molecular therapies for chronic neuroinflammatory conditions, including multiple sclerosis. His work has transformed our understanding of stem cell biology—shifting from simple cell replacement to recognising the critical role of intercellular signalling.
His team pioneers the use of advanced stem cell technologies, including extracellular vesicles and patient-specific 2D/3D models, to investigate disease mechanisms such as inflammation, cellular senescence, and epigenetic regulation. These innovative approaches are directly informing drug discovery and the development of targeted therapeutics.
Professor Pluchino has also led pioneering clinical trials of neural stem cells in progressive multiple sclerosis, contributing significantly to the translation of cutting-edge research into clinical applications.
This is a unique opportunity to gain insight into breakthrough advances in stem cell research and their potential to transform the treatment of neurological disease.
