Sousa earned a degree in Biochemistry and a PhD in Biomedical Science s from the University of Porto\, Portugal. During her doctoral research\, she investigated the biology of an aggregation-prone protein that triggers axon degeneration. As a postdoctoral fellow at Columbia University in New York\, she explored signaling pathways involved in neurodegeneration caus ed by amyloid fibrils. Since 2008\, Monica has led the Nerve Regeneration group at i3S- University of Porto\, focusing on the study of axon growth a nd regeneration. Her research identified the spiny mouse as the first know n mammal capable of spontaneous spinal cord regeneration. She currently se rves as the director of IBMC\, one of the founding institutes of i3S. In 2 024\, Monica was elected EMBO member.\n DTSTART:20250429T200000Z DTEND:20250429T210000Z LOCATION:de Grandpre Communications Centre\, The Neuro SUMMARY:Killam Seminar Series: The Power of Exceptions: How to Regenerate t he Spinal Cord in Mammals URL:/neuro/channels/event/killam-seminar-series-power- exceptions-how-regenerate-spinal-cord-mammals-364270 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
