This is the wrap-up of #VCoelhoSantosLab at #NEI25 ✨ European Researchers’ Night!
See you next year in Coimbra with more #science, #brains, #bloodvessels, games & fun! 🧠

11 years after receiving a PhD student award at @ecnp.eu 2014, I return as an invited speaker to present the research of my own lab, the #VCoelhoSantosLab. A full-circle moment that makes perseverance worth it! 💫 #ECNP25 #newPI #cerebrovascular

#NewResearch from the #VcoelhoSantosLab and #ShihLab used #two-photon live imaging to reveal how #microglia 🧠 evolve across across #lifespan.

Key findings:
👶 Neonatal: Active but clumsy
🧍‍♂️ Adult: Calm but sharp
👵 Aged: Quiet and slow

Excited to announce another funded project! 💪🧠
Piece by piece, we are working to solve some of the mysteries of the #neonatalbrain using #liveimaging.
Understanding our development may be the key to healthy #aging 🙃.

Today Catarina, Maria, Clara, and Carolina presented their bachelor internship projects. It was truly a pleasure to watch you grow and to see the passion for blood vessels taking root in each of you. Wishing you all the success in your futures! #VCoelhoSantosLab

🎓 Internship season wrapped! Huge congrats to Zoé Morgado (July 14) and Filipe Ponte (July 23) for defending their bachelor theses! Zoé (Biomed Eng) and Filipe (Biotech) explored #cerebrovascular and #neuroimaging at #VCoelhoSantosLab.
