Dr. Villarroya’s work is focused on studying the molecular mechanisms of mainly brown, beige and white adipocyte metabolism, as well as identifying novel signaling molecules determining organ cross-talk, and how this relates to pathologies such as obesity.

Josep M. Canals Coll: talk title to be confirmed– Institute of Neurosciences, University of Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain

Dr. Canals Coll’s work is focused on the characterization of intrinsic and/or extrinsic factors that participate in the differentiation of stem cells towards estriatal neurons that can replace damaged neurons in Huntington’s disease.
