Microglial and Neuroinflammation Thematic Network Workshop

November 3-7, 2025

Venue: Bordeaux School of Neuroscience

This second edition of this thematic workshop brings a novel, integrated approach: all three hands-on modules will converge on a shared scientific goal.

Deciphering IL-1beta synthesis by brain-resident myeloid cells using a biosensor mouse model.

• Isolate cells from brain and meninges, analyze byflow cytometry
3. Transcriptomics
• Generate and analyze scRNA-seq data
• From sample prep to libraries; step-by-step data analysis using SEURAT
