On March 20, the LSMU Neuroscience Institute hosted its first Science Day as part of International Brain Awareness Week.

Laboratory leaders presented their ongoing research, introduced new team members, and outlined future research directions, offering a comprehensive view of the Institute’s scientific activities. The event created a valuable space for exchanging ideas, strengthening connections, and identifying new opportunities for collaboration.

Beyond the presentations, it marked an important step in shaping the identity of the Neuroscience Institute and fostering a stronger sense of community. We are pleased with the shared experience and hope this initiative will become an annual NI tradition!!! 🥳 👨‍🔬 🤲 💪 💡

We are delighted to introduce the newest members of our team: Onur ATEŞ and Toma Dievaitė 👏
Onur has joined us as a first-year PhD student and is already contributing to an ongoing research project investigating the molecular response of neural stem cells to extracellular vesicles secreted by glioblastoma cells. This topic is closely aligned with his PhD research, ensuring strong continuity and further progress in this field.
Toma has joined the team as a research technician and is actively supporting the same project through bioinformatic analyses. She is also preparing to apply for a PhD position focused on the epitranscriptomic regulation of glioblastoma and glioma stem cells.
We are very happy to have you both on board and look forward to the exciting work ahead. Welcome to the Laboratory of Molecular Neurooncology team! 🚀
