EMBO 2022
About the Workshop
The mammalian brain is developed during embryogenesis when differentiated cells form complex networks, while it is colonized by new cells throughout adulthood which reform existing connectivity. Discovery of key steps of brain development under the prism of evolution and design of novel cellular therapies are central goals for the coming decades. Thus, neural stem cell based (NSCs) therapies are highly promising new strategies against neurodevelopmental, traumatic, and neurodegenerative diseases.
Understanding of how aspects of NSC basic biology has potentiated the advancement of clinical applications on drug discovery and cell replacement therapies will be discussed. Emphasis will be given to model systems mimicking human physiology and pathophysiology, an essential step bridging knowledge of basic and clinical research. In the workshop world leading experts, young investigators and future scientists studying basic and translational aspects of NSCs biology will discuss present knowledge and future perspectives on cellular therapies.

Accommodation
The Convention Centre & Hotel Park (Olympia Riviera Resort) is a wooded estate on the Ionian sea, occupying 5.000 m². Offering excellent conference facilities and direct access to a sandy beach, it is ideal for scientific interactions in a relaxed environment. A combination of both inside area for the meetings & outside area offers many options for a successful conference. State of the art equipment is available. Olympia Riviera Resort has been the venue of two earlier, successful EMBO Workshops and was very highly rated by participants. The site of Ancient Olympia, where the Olympic Games first took place, is located near the convention centre, and a visit is planned during the workshop. Accommodation at the resort consists of rooms and bungalows available in the same area where the convention centre is situated.
Accommodation for all participants will be at the Olympia Riviera Resort and is full board (includes three meals). It is directly arranged by the organizers and will be booked for each participant upon registration and full payment.
A €4 room tax per room per night applies, payable at the hotel upon check out, not included in the below mentioned rates.
