A Double Win at NEUROdiab

The NEUROdiab annual meeting was recently held in Rome, Italy. The event brings together the top scientists worldwide who study the neurologic complications of diabetes. 

The 2024 meeting was the inaugural year for the Simona Frontini Young Investigators Award for Most Innovative Research Presentation, and not one but two NeuroNetwork researchers received this honor.

Mohamed Noureldein, Ph. D., was honored for his research on the epigenomic and transcriptomic changes that occur in the hippocampus of the brain in response to metabolic syndrome.

Samuel Teener received the award for his presentation about the molecular mechanisms of how oligodendrocytes, specialized cells in the brain, supply energy to neurons.

"This was a shining moment for the NeuroNetwork to receive not one, but two of the inaugural awards," said Eva Feldman, M.D., Ph.D. "These two are great scientists, and I am pleased that NEUROdiab recognized their work.”
