麻豆视频最新最全 University鈥檚 Brain Health Research Institute recently helped sponsor and participated in the 4th World Conference on Kisspeptin, 鈥淜isspeptin 2022鈥, which was held on August 5鈥6, 2022, in Glasgow, Scotland.
Kisspeptin 2022 featured presentations of cutting-edge research from leading scientists in the field of neuroscience on the diverse roles kisspeptin plays in the human brain and body, and on the ways that knowledge has improved our understanding of human health and treatment of disease. Brain Health Research Institute provided sponsorship and played a key role in organizing and providing administrative support for Kisspeptin 2022. BHRI Director Dr. Mike Lehman and Dr. Waljit Dhillo of Imperial College, London, UK, were the event鈥檚 co-organizers and worked together with a team of leading researchers from across the globe to ensure the overall success of Kisspeptin 2022.
Among the plenary speakers at Kisspeptin 2022 were BHRI faculty members from the Department of Biological Sciences, including Dr. Aleisha Moore, whose talk was entitled, 鈥淜iss and tell: in vivo imaging reveals dynamic temporal organization of the KNDy pulse generator鈥, and Dr. Richard Piet with 鈥淧reoptic kisspeptin neurons and the circuits regulating ovulation鈥. In addition, BHRI Director Mike Lehman was the conference鈥檚 final plenary speaker and presented a talk titled 鈥淲ild and woolly: contributions of the sheep model to kisspeptin biology鈥.
Kisspeptin 2022 was held as a satellite conference to another major international scientific meeting, the 10th International Congress of Neuroendocrinology also held in Glasgow, Scotland. BHRI faculty also presented their research at this meeting, as well as participated in a Trainee Workshop sponsored by the Pan American Neuroendocrine Society on 鈥淐utting Edge Techniques in Neuroendocrinology鈥 that followed it. The workshop, which was attended by 50 trainees representing several different countries, included presentations on innovative techniques and career development topics from Drs. Moore, Piet, and Lehman.
These summer events in Scotland provided a very rewarding experience for BHRI researchers, enhancing the international visibility and reputation of 麻豆视频最新最全 in neuroendocrinology and building on our status as a R1 research university. We appreciate the return to in-person meetings, and look forward to participating in many more exciting scientific conferences in the near future!
