Emerging Concepts of the Neuronal Cytoskeleton (7th Edition)
About the workshop

Join Us at the Premier Workshop on Neuronal Cytoskeleton: Explore, Connect, and Innovate!. Are you devoted to understanding the inner workings of the nervous system? Dive into the intricate world of the neuronal cytoskeleton at our international workshop, where science meets innovation. This event delves deep into the organization, regulation, and function of the cytoskeleton, a critical player in processes such as, neuronal migration, axon and dendrite growth, synapse formation, and in essential mechanisms underlying learning, memory, degeneration, and regeneration. Over the years, our workshop has become the go-to event for discussing the latest breakthroughs in cytoskeletal research, attracting a dedicated community of scientists from around the globe. For the 2025 edition, our organizers from three continents are setting the stage to further elevate this event as a flagship workshop. South America has long been a powerhouse in cytoskeletal research, yet young scientists often face barriers to connecting with global leaders in the field. Our workshop addresses this by creating a unique, intimate, and informal setting where top researchers and emerging talents can interact, collaborate, and inspire one another. Set against the stunning backdrop of Maitencillo, Chile, this 7th edition promises to be exciting. Explore emerging concepts in cutting-edge areas such as advanced technologies for studying the neuronal cytoskeleton, regulation of neuronal development, axonal transport, signaling, and neuronal mechanobiology. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to learn, network, and contribute to the future of neuronal cytoskeleton research. Apply soon to secure your spot at the forefront of scientific discovery!
