The Neuroscience School of Advanced Studies NSAS welcomes you to the XIII century Convento di Sant’Agostino in Cortona, Tuscany, the town celebrated in the book and movie “Under the Tuscan Sun”.
Inside the lecture rooms and around the fascinating atmosphere of the convent cloister the world’s leading investigators will discuss upcoming scientific challenges with a small, highly selected number of participants in a unique setting, nestled within the most idyllic Tuscan countryside.
For nine intense days participants will work alongside Faculties that are undisputed leaders in their own field: the result is a profound experience that fosters professional and personal development.
In a proven, unique format you will be exposed to a high-impact learning experience, often taking you outside the comfort zone of your own technical expertise, that will empower you with new analytical and strategic skills across areas of neuroscience.
You will gain a heightened awareness for fields of neuroscience relevant for your activity and, perhaps most important to you, a place within an elite global network of neuroscientists.
The first course Neural Stem Cells in Development and for Brain Repair, is taking place on May 2013 (4-12). UniStem allocated a grant to partecipate to this course. The winner han been Sarah E. Hirsch, Ph.D. student in dr.Chris Fasano’s laboratory of University at Albany, School of Public Health Neural Stem Cell Institute Albany, NY. She was selected between 42 candidates from 13 different countries, as Sweden, India, Chile, USA, Iran, France, Spain.
«As a new investigator with limited resources, having excellent students can really help establish and drive a newly formed research program. Since Sarah joined the lab in 2011, she has been that person» wrote dr. Chris Fasano into reference letter.
«Sarah truly loves this field, and her work ethic and drive to learn as much as possible about neural stem cells comes across in all she does».
