SAFIS 2019 – Sessions

LECTURE

James Goldenring, MD, PhD

Scientific Director of Translation Pathology and Digital Histology resources and the Co-Director of the Epithelial Biology Center at Vanderbilt University, Nashville TN, USA.

James Goldenring graduated at Harvard University and Yale University. He has been a leader in the field of epithelial biology for the past 2 decades. His studies have led to insights into how vesicle trafficking regulates the establishment of apical membranes specializations and defines epithelial polarity. His work now focuses on identification of genetic congenital causes of undiagnosed neonatal diarrheas and approaches to treatment of these maladies. He is also a leader in the study of pre-neoplastic changes related to gastric cancer. His work has redefined concepts of the origin of metaplasia and the plasticity of differentiated cells.

LECTURE

Alejandro Schinder, PhD

Principal investigator of the argentine research council (CONICET). Head of the laboratory of neuronal plasticity at the Leloir Institute and president of Leloir Institute Foundation (CABA).

Alejandro Schinder got his PhD at the Department of Biology, University of California San Diego. At the moment, his work is focused in understanding the plastic modifications of adult hippocampal networks produced by the incorporation of newly generated dentate granule cells. He has made pinnacle contributions in the field of neuronal plasticity, which have been published in prestigious journals such as Science, Nature, Cell, Neuron and Journal of Neuroscience.

Poster sessions

Two poster sessions will be held, where young investigators will present and discuss their work in progress. 

Special Symposia

As it is our tradition, there will be two special symposia where pre-selected young investigators will present their unpublished work on general physiology or cardiovascular physiology, which will be considered for SAFIS and Camilion de Hurtado awards, respectively.
