We are excited to share that Dr. Zanos, Director of the Translational Neuropharmacology Lab, delivered an engaging talk at the 14th Annual Scientific Conference of the Center for Applied Neuroscience (CAN), held at the University of Cyprus. His presentation, titled “From Whiskers to Wisdom: How Rodent Models can Reveal Neural Mechanisms Underlying Decision-Making and Cognitive Processes”, explored how innovative animal models advance our understanding of cognitive and decision-making processes.
The Zanos Lab was also represented by five posters, showcasing the breadth of our research:
- Dr. Anna Onisiforou presented two posters:
- “Dissecting the Contribution of Herpesviruses in the Emergence of Depressive Symptoms in Alzheimer’s Disease Through Multi-Omics Data.”
- “From Viral Infections to Alzheimer’s Disease: Unveiling the Mechanistic Links Through Systems Bioinformatics.”
- Dr. Andrea Georgiou highlighted shared genetic bases between mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue inflammation and psychiatric disorders.
- Dr. Andria Michael focused on innovative treatments to prevent negative affect and relapse during opioid abstinence.
- Dr. Eleftheria Charalambous explored the gut virome’s role in brain aging.
We extend our gratitude to the CAN organizers for creating a platform to share our work and foster collaborations within the neuroscience community.
