EMBO Workshop: Microglia 2021
October 28, 2021 to October 29, 2021
EMBL is committed to sharing research advances and sustaining scientific interaction throughout the coronavirus pandemic. We are delighted to announce that this conference is going virtual and invite you to join us online.
Conference Overview
This workshop will highlight the many important functions of microglia to nervous system physiology and function, the newest and most exciting literature and will bring together researchers using state-of-the-art imaging, genomics and molecular biology to study these enigmatic cells.
Microglia are a resident macrophage of the central nervous system at the intersection of immunology and neuroscience. They have gained increasingly more attention over the past decade as more research shows that they are key contributors to neural circuit development and function. There is also increasing evidence that microglia are important in the etiology of many nervous system diseases.
Session Topics
- Microglia ontogeny
- Microglia and circuit function
- Microglia in diseased circuits
- Microglia nomenclature
