DESCRIPTION:Professor Gonçalo Castelo-Branco is a Professor of Glial Cell
  Biology at the Department of Medical Biochemistry and Biophysics at Karol
 inska Institutet\, Stockholm\, Sweden. Prof. Castelo-Branco received his P
 hD in Medical Biochemistry in 2005\, working on development of dopaminergi
 c neurons and neural stem differentiation. He completed post-doctoral fell
 owships first at the Karolinska Institutet and then at the University of C
 ambridge\, United Kingdom\, working in neural and pluripotent stem cells a
 nd chromatin. Prof. Castelo-Branco started his research group in 2012\, fo
 cusing on the molecular mechanisms regulating the epigenomic states of oli
 godendrocyte lineage cells in neuroinflammatory and demyelinating diseases
  such as multiple sclerosis (MS)\, using technologies such as single cell 
 and spatial transcriptomics and epigenomics\, among others. The long-term 
 goal of his group is to build a solid platform of convergent knowledge and
  know-how on the epigenetics of (re)myelination and neuroinflammation\, wh
 ich will allow to establish innovative regenerative strategies for neuroin
 flammatory diseases such as MS. Prof. Castelo-Branco has received many pre
 stigious awards and grants\, including the European Research Council Conso
 lidator Grant\, the Swedish Society for Medical Research (SSMF) 100 years 
 Jubileum Prize\, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences Göran Gustafsson P
 rize 2021 in Medicine and the Hans Wigzell prize 2022.\n\n\nZoom link for
