NeuroFly2024

Thanks to those of you who attended the launch of the Birmingham Centre for Neurogenetics - a new exciting initiative at the University of Birmingham. Please get in touch if you would like to join us, at any stage of your career!

It was wonderful to relay the Neurofly torch, which has been kept going since 1986 and we very much look forward to Neurofly2026 in Cologne!

Neurofly2024 Organising Committee would like to thank our generous sponsors, who facilitated the conference, enabled us to have a fun, nice and welcoming atmosphere. Thanks to UoB, EMBO, Genetics Society and CoB for funding speakers and PhD students travel.

Neurofly2024 was exciting and fun! After a little break to recover from the exhaustion... we'd now like to thank the fabulous Organising Committee - Scientific and Events Management Team - who worked very hard for 2 years and during the week to make Neurofly2024 happen 👏👏

We're delighted to be attending the Launch of the Centre for Neurogenetics this afternoon.🎉 The launch coincides with the end of #Neurofly2024, which has been held across campus this week.

The first talk of the afternoon comes from Dr Stephane De Brito (School of Psychology), entitled ‘Enhancing NeuroImaging Genetics through Meta-Analysis (ENIGMA)’. 🧠

The second talk comes from Dr Carolina Rezaval, (@crezaval); her fascinating work has found that male fruit flies will become oblivious, or 'blind', to physical danger as they become more engaged in courtship and sex. 🪰

The third and final talk is from Professor Zubair Ahmed: ‘Inhibiting components of the DNA damage pathway promotes functional recovery after CNS injury in Drosophila and rodents’.

....just round the corner! For sustainability and our planet, Neurofly2024 will not provide printed abstract books nor printed programmes... no waste no throw away... Badges & lanyards will be collected... No freebies no bags... 🧐Yes pens & note pads. Much science & company .
