The Academic Director of the BCDD and the event host, Prof. Gazit, summed up the event: "We were privilege to enjoy the presentation of exciting state-of-the-art scientific research as its highest level. The innovative work of Prof. DeGrado on the development of novel drugs to treat fibrosis has the potential to finally provide a solution to unmet medical need. The pioneering optical measurement of electrophysiological activity, that was presented by Prof. Cohen, is a true revolution in the understanding of neurobiology".
