SUMMARY:Unconventional Animal Models of Alzheimer's Disease & Aging
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the Second International Conference on “Unconventional Animal Models of Alzheimer’s Disease and Aging” (UAMAA 2026)\, taking place February 9–11\, 2026 at the Sue & Bill Gross Stem Cell Research Center Auditorium\, College of Health Sciences\, University of California\, Irvine (UCI). \nThis multidisciplinary forum will bring together researchers\, scientists\, and professionals advancing the frontiers of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) research. The conference will offer a unique platform to discuss and explore unconventional mammalian and non-murine models of AD that may provide enhanced translational potential for therapeutic development. \nBuilding on the success of the inaugural conference held in 2023 in Santiago\, Chile\, this second conference aims to showcase recent breakthroughs\, foster interdisciplinary collaboration\, and encourage dynamic scientific exchange. \nThe program will feature six focused sessions: \n\nNew Models and Technologies\nGenomics Researchels\nBehavioral Science and Integrative Neuroscience\nNeural Circuit Organization and Dynamics in Aging and AD\nGeriatrics and Aging Process Research\nBiomarker and Intervention Development\n\nThe conference is co-organized by Drs. Afonso Silva\, Stacey J. Rizzo\, Patricia Cogram\, Bing Ren\, and Xiangmin Xu. \nFor additional information\, please contact the Center for Neural Circuit Mapping at UC Irvine. We look forward to welcoming you to Irvine in February 2026! \nFind out more

SUMMARY:Building a high performing team
DESCRIPTION:High-performing teams are built on trust\, self-awareness and safe conflict. This NIHR webinar explores the essential “T&Cs” that underpin exceptional team dynamics. It will help you cultivate these qualities by deepening your awareness\, fostering psychological safety and practicing safe\, collaborative conflict. \nBy attending you will: \n➡️understand team performance and assess where your team is\n➡️ explore what true inclusion looks like and ways to embed it\n➡️ reflect on what your best looks like and how preferences may impact others\n➡️ discover strategies for managing conflict and building psychological safety\, to enhance team performance \nThere will also be a Q&A after the session. \nPlease note\, we do not permit attendees to record our meetings or webinars. \nRegister to Attend

SUMMARY:Catchup - Precision Inflammation in the Brain
DESCRIPTION:Inflammation plays a central role in many neurological conditions\, yet the immune system in the brain behaves very differently from the rest of the body. Understanding how these responses are regulated\, and how they can be influenced with precision\, is an active area of research. \n\nThis Salon Research Showcase session brings together researchers and the public for a 45 minute online session to explore how inflammation in the brain can be studied and controlled using phenotype driven approaches.\nIn this session\, Dr Kate Harris from Newcastle University will discuss her research on brain inflammation\, focusing on cell based screening and target deconvolution as tools for identifying new ways to modulate immune responses. She will explore how these approaches help reveal subtle immune behaviours and why controlling inflammation requires nuance rather than broad suppression.\nAttendees can expect a clear overview of phenotype driven discovery\, insight into how immune targets are identified\, and time for questions and discussion.\n\n\n\nWatch the Recording
