Mini Symposium: "New Frontiers in Metabolism"

CiMUS will host a Mini Symposium titled "New Frontiers in Metabolism", bringing together cutting-edge research and insights into metabolic regulation and disease. 

The event will feature two invited speakers, Dr. Marc Schneberger and Dr. Ismael González-García, whose work focuses on the central regulation of energy balance. This meeting aims to foster discussion and collaboration among researchers interested in metabolism, signaling, and integrative physiology. 

All members of the scientific community are warmly invited to attend and contribute to this stimulating exchange of ideas at CiMUS.
 

Dr Marc Schneeberger: "New integrated insights in homeostasis".

Bio: Dr. Marc Schneeberger Pané is an Assistant Professor of Cellular and Molecular Physiology at Yale School of Medicine. Originally from Spain, he earned his Ph.D. in Biomedicine from the University of Barcelona and completed postdoctoral training at The Rockefeller University as a Kavli Fellow and a Pathway to Independence award. 

His research explores the neurobiology of energy balance, focusing on how specific brain circuits regulate feeding, thermogenesis, and metabolism. He combines advanced imaging, molecular profiling and neuromodulation methods to address fundamental questions in physiology and metabolism.

Dr Ismael González García: "New molecular mechanisms and tools to understand the central regulation of metabolism".

Bio: Dr. González García earned his Ph.D. from the USC in 2018 and completed postdoctoral training at Helmholtz Munich (2018–2022) under Prof. García-Cáceres. Since 2023, he has been a Ramón y Cajal researcher and Principal Investigator of the Neuroendocrine Regulation of Metabolism group at CiMUS. He was recently awarded an ERC Starting Grant for the HypoPause project on menopause research.

His work focuses on hypothalamic regulation of energy balance, brown adipose tissue thermogenesis, the metabolic actions of estradiol, and astrocyte–neuron circuitries in obesity. His key contributions have appeared in top journals, including Cell Reports (2014, 2018), Diabetes (2017), Nat. Comms. (2021), and Cell Metabolism (2023).

Host PI: Miguel López, NeurObesity Group and member of the Internationalization Committee at CiMUS
