ADNF Symposium XVIII May2022 head shots

Giulia Quattrocolo (Norway) - "Cajal-Retzius cells in the postnatal hippocampus".

After obtaining a Bachelor in Biology and a Master in Neurobiology from the Università di Pavia, in Italy, in 2009 she moved to Northwestern University, Chicago, for a Ph.D. in Neuroscience. There she worked in the lab of Dr. Gianmaria Maccaferri, studying the integration of Cajal-Retzius cells in the postnatal hippocampal circuit. In 2014 she joined the laboratory of Dr. Gord Fishell, then at NYU, to study the role of genetic and environmental factors in determining the differentiation of cortical and hippocampal interneurons. In 2017 she moved back to Europe, in Norway, to work with Dr. Edvard Moser, at the Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience, at NTNU, in Trondheim, where she continued to investigate the role of Cajal-Retzius cells in the maturation of the hippocampal circuit. Since 2021 she is group leader of the Circuit Development lab at the Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience.

Fernando Garcia-Moreno (Spain) - "Mosaic evolutionary history of brain circuits through the lens of neurogenesis".

Fernando García-Moreno graduated in Biology at the Complutense University in Madrid (Spain) and obtained his PhD working on the embryonic development of the cerebral cortex (Cajal Institute – Spain). He followed his research with a postdoctoral stay at the Department of Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics, University of Oxford (UK) funded by HFSP. Fernando shifted his research interest to the evolutionary origin of the mammalian neocortex. He ended it up as Junior Group Leader.

In 2016 he moved to Achucarro Basque Center for Neuroscience (Spain) where he is now an Assistant Professor and established his first independent group. Fernando aims to understand how the vertebrate brain evolved by studying the embryonic development of mammalian, reptilian and avian brains. To do so, he performs in vivo experimental embryology and single cell transcriptomics on chick, mouse and gecko embryonic brains.

Hello, are you interested in developmental neuroscience research? If YES, then we welcome you to sign up for virtual events in the upcoming ANS Developmental Neuroscience Forum (ADNF) below!

Who we are

We are members of the Australasian Neuroscience Society (ANS), with an interest in developmental neuroscience. Our mission is to provide year-long engagement for our colleagues all over the world.

What we do

(i) monthly virtual symposia (4 speakers over a 2h session) comprising national and international speakers, and with gender and equity targets;

(ii) hold regular morning/afternoon teas, depending on where you are in Australasia/the World;

(iii) provide peer-to-peer exchange of ideas and panel discussions.

How to participate

Sign up below to join our mailing list for full details of presentations and speakers. We also encourage members to nominate speakers for this series, or even nominate yourself to speak about one of your exciting projects which you have published as a pre-print, or recently online.

Join the ADNF, as audience member as well as speaker!
