Neurodegenerative diseases damage the nervous systems, often causing unexpected and psychologically devastating effects. Early diagnosis, treatment, and cure for these pathologies are frequently lacking or significantly delayed. A central goal of healthy aging research is preserving normal brain function, recognizing the crucial role of maintaining cognitive abilities for overall well-being. Investigating proteomic, lipidomic, metabolomic, and epigenetic modifications induced by neurodegenerative diseases in both in vitro and in vivo models can offer new insights into disease onset mechanisms and inform the development of lifestyle parameters to counteract neurodegeneration.
The PROLYON 2025 Workshop, a collaborative project between Sapienza University of Rome, University Claude Bernard Lyon 1, and the Institute of Analytical Sciences, aims to connect international researchers and experts in various fields to discuss the latest findings on protein misfolding and aggregation, omics studies, epigenetics and nutrigenomics in neurodegenerative diseases. This workshop will provide an overview of current practices and protocols for studying the early events in neurodegenerative disease onset and progression. Experts working with diverse models will present seminars and engage in discussions, covering topics ranging from molecular and cellular biophysics to animal models of disease. The event will not only facilitate scientific exchange but also foster future collaborations and research programs. A key focus is providing young researchers with opportunities to interact with leading scientists and develop their skills. A poster session with an extended discussion, will be present. The scientific committee will be happy to award the "Best Poster" and "Selected Oral Presentation" prizes.
