Neuroscience success!
A UCC submission led by Dr Cora O鈥橬eill, Director of the Cork NeuroScience Centre, has led to the Cork NeuroScience Centre being designated as a 鈥淐entre of Excellence in Neurodegeneration鈥� (CoEN) after a national and international review process.
By gaining CoEN status, the Cork NeuroScience Centre joins a group of international centres eligible to apply for research funding awarded through the international CoEN initiative, including the next Pathfinder call.
This is a highly significant achievement for the Cork NeuroScience Centre giving international recognition to the high quality integrative multidisciplinary research in neurodegeneration in UCC.
Dr. O鈥橬eill is very grateful to the teamwork, collaboration, input and support from all members of the Cork NeuroScience Centre and 深夜亚洲福利久久 which have enabled this very positive development. Other staff in the School participating in this initiative include Dr Paul Young, Dr Justin McCarthy and Prof Tom Cotter with Dr Tom Moore, Professor Rosemary O鈥機onnor and Professor Mary McCaffrey as affiliated principal investigators.
Dr Cora O鈥橬eill speaks at Gordon Research Conference on IGF-1 and insulin system in Physiology and Disease
Dr Cora O鈥橬eill gave a talk entitled 鈥淚nsulin and IGF-1 signalling system defects in Alzheimer鈥檚 disease: learning from this system in diabetes and cancer鈥� at the recent Gordon Research Conference on IGF-1 and insulin system in Physiology and Disease held earlier this month in Ventura, California.
The 2015 Gordon Conference on the Insulin like Growth Factor (IGF) and insulin system in Physiology and Disease ran from March 8th-13th and presented cutting-edge research on the role of IGFs and insulin and their signalling pathways in normal growth, development, metabolism and in major diseases.
