Attendance at the Target ALS conference in Boston

As recipients of a Target ALS consortium grant, we had the opportunity to present our latest work on ALS at the Target ALS annual meeting in Boston. 



At the meeting, Gian Gaetano Tartaglia presented his work on the development of aptamers, Jenna Gregory presented her studies using them in tissue, and Mathew spoke about how they are using them for single-molecule detection. The consortium were introduced by our US member, Dr Neil Shneider. 

There was also time for a catch-up over some drinks in Boston, some running along the Charles River, and some sightseeing in Cambridge.

Part of our group visited Swansea for the British Biophysics Society Biennial Meeting 2024. Awesome science combined with a beautiful venue! We all really enjoyed hearing about all the advances in biophysics research being made in the UK (and abroad!). Looking forward to the 2026 meeting, and the poster flash talks as a new addition to the programme. Thanks to the Society for organising.

Mathew and Noelia attend the 6th Japan-UK Neuroscience Meeting in Awaji, Osaka

Mathew and Noelia were recently invited to attend the Japan-UK neuroscience meeting being held in Osaka, Japan. The meeting, jointly funded by AMED and MRC, sought to strengthen connections between researchers in the UK and Japan. The meeting was a fantastic opportunity to share their research, and also learn about other work being conducted by neuroscientists in the two countries. Delegates were also treated to trip to a local castle, and were serenaded by talented singers in an impromptu Karaoke bar visit!
