Join us to explore cutting-edge advancements in stem cell-based models of the human brain and study of neurological disorders through this keynote presentation by Prof Pașca, a globally recognized authority whose research continues to transform our understanding of human nervous system development and disease state.

Prof Pașca is renowned for his groundbreaking work in creating and developing stem cell-based models of the human brain to gain insights into neurological disorders. His team was the first to develop 3D human-derived assembloids, enabling the investigation of complex neuronal networks. Additionally, Prof Pașca pioneered a novel therapeutic approach for Timothy Syndrome, which was featured on the cover of Nature.

We have reserved 15-minute slots starting at 10:30 AM for one-on-one meetings with Prof Pașca and UCL researchers. A total of 5–6 slots are available and will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. If you are interested to meet with Prof Pasca, please e-mail Serena Barral: s.barral@ucl.ac.uk.
