In a joint initiative between Barcelona Children's Hospital Sant Joan de Déu and the Paris Brain Institute, Drs A. Garcia-Cazorla and Fanny Mochel invite you to Barcelona a city that has, over recent decades, consolidated its position as one of Europe’s most dynamic and vibrant hubs for science and health.
Symposium overview:
- Exciting developments in quantum biology highlighted by an inaugural conference featuring Sonia Contera, Professor of Biological Physics at the University of Oxford.
- Physical approach to brain metabolism, incorporating thermodynamic principles and the emerging concept of photons as synaptic transmitters.
- A pioneering discipline at the intersection of biophysics, metabolism and medicine, focusing on mechanodiseases.
- A thought-provoking closing lecture on the relationship between metabolism and cognition.
Participant profile:
- Metabolic Physicians
- Neurologists
- Clinical Geneticists
- Child neurologists
- Physicists
- Neurobiologists
- Chemists
- Biochemists
Previous editions have explored topics ranging from mechanotransduction — the mechanical forces that shape brain development — to the physics of neurotransmission, spatial mechanotranscriptomics, and the emerging field of mechanomedicine. Building on these advances, this year’s symposium will delve deeper into the physical principles that govern brain metabolism and function, continuing to expand the frontiers of neuroscience.
