3月19日,葡萄牙米尼奧大學(xué)Alberto Dias和 Patricia Maciel兩位教授應(yīng)邀來我院講學(xué)和開展合作研究，在茶樹生物學(xué)省重點實驗室會議室分別作了題為“Natural products research: from lab to clinical applications”和“Drug discovery for neurodegenerative diseases: from genes to therapy”的學(xué)術(shù)報告。報告會由我院副院長宋新強主持，我院部分教師及研究生聆聽了報告。
Alberto Dias和 Patricia Maciel分別就自己的學(xué)術(shù)背景、研究領(lǐng)域等做了相關(guān)闡述，報告內(nèi)容涉及人口與健康領(lǐng)域的多個方面。Alberto Dias教授介紹了天然產(chǎn)物研究從實驗室到臨床應(yīng)用的最新進展, Patricia Maciel教授與大家分享了他近些年開展神經(jīng)退行性疾病治療的相關(guān)研究成果。隨后，兩位學(xué)者與我院師生就相關(guān)問題進行了互動交流，現(xiàn)場學(xué)術(shù)氛圍濃厚。
報告人簡介：
Alberto Dias：Degree in Applied Biology (Univ. Lisbon, 1989), MSc in Biotechnology (IST 1993), PhD (UMINHO, 2001). Professor at University of Minho.
