LECTURES Ali Jawaid, PhD

On Friday, 31st March  2023, as part of the SAME-NeuroID project and PORT Seminar Series, we hosted Ali Jawaid, PhD who currently heads the Laboratory for Translational Research in Neuropsychiatric Disorders (TREND lab) at the BRAINCITY: Center of Excellence for Neural Plasticity and Brain Disorders, Warsaw, Poland. TREND lab is focused on dissecting the liaison between non-coding RNAs and metabolic factors in the long-term sequelae of early life trauma; and investigate how metabolism can be manipulated to counter its neuropsychiatric manifestations across generations.

Ali Jawaid’s lecture was titled “The Interplay between Metabolism and Epigenetics in Risk and Transmission of Neuropsychiatric Disorders”.  The meeting was part of the SAME-NeuroID project funded by the Horizon Europe program.

For Young Investigators there was post-lecture meeting scheduled as Q&A session. During the session they were able to inquire our guest Ali Jawaid, Ph.D. about the tips how to accelerate a research career and how to avoid traps and bottlenecks.
