Dear all Neuroscientist and young researchers in Africa,
📍I am very glad😃 to share with you all that, We opened the 2nd IBRO-ARC Tunisian School on Fundamentals of Neuroscience, 🧠Neurological Disorders, and Therapeutic Approaches: A Focus on Parkinson’s Disease🧠 which will be held in Tunisia for the second time.
📍I encourage all MD, MSc, Ph.D.´s, and Postdoctoral to apply for this wonderful opportunity.
🙏I would like to thank Hamadi Fetoui, Abid Oueslati, Nouria Lakhdar-Ghazal and Abdelhamid Benazzouz for the fruitful collaboration and for the acceptance of our proposal.
💪We are really building a very strong network in Neuroscience in Africa, and all over the globe.
School description:
Aims and Scope of the School:
This 10-day IBRO-ARC school will provide intensive day-to-day and face-to-face interactive sessions on basic principles of neuroscience, neurodegenerative diseases/disorders. The school aims to build capacity in neurosciences in Africa especially for young African researchers that use a small animal as an experimental model in their studies. The course will focus on Parkinson’s disease, basic behavioral tests in neuroscience, experimental modeling, and translational applications. In Africa, such research is lacking while the scientific potential exists.
Description:
The school will cover basic principles of neural networks, neural transmission, plasticity, and neurodegenerative diseases with specific training focused on Parkinson’s disease. The school’s goal is to educate students in the field of neurodegenerative diseases seen from a conceptual and methodological point of view and make them aware of the therapeutic advances. The school will also include a number of professional development workshops and practical training (behavioral testings, qPCR gene expression, immunohistochemistry, and western blotting).
Who should apply to this School?
Masters, PhD-students, and young scientists in the neuroscience field from all over Africa. Only students from the 🌍African region are eligible to apply.
What costs will be covered for selected applicants?
Airline tickets, accommodation, and meals for selected students.
: September 3, 2021 (5:00 p.m. CET)
We are looking forward to receiving your application in time.
Best wishes,
Brahim
