在咖啡香與受體訊號之間：一場關於神經退化疾病的法國學術午後 Purinergic and Adenosine Signaling in Neurodegenerative Diseases

本實驗室將於 2026 年 6 月 11 日（四）15:30–17:05，於國立臺灣大學醫學檢驗暨生物技術學系第十講堂舉辦 Distinguished Seminar 國際學術演講，邀請兩位來自法國的神經科學領域重要學者蒞臨演講與交流。

本次講者之一 Dr. Eric Boué-Grabot 為法國國家科學研究中心（CNRS）Research Director，現任波爾多 Neurodegenerative Disease Institute（IMN）副所長，長期致力於 purinergic signaling、P2X receptors、神經發炎與中樞神經疾病之研究。他將以 “Opposing Roles of Neuronal and Microglial Purinergic Receptors in CNS Diseases: The Example of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis” 為題，分享神經元與小膠質細胞 purinergic receptors 在中樞神經疾病，特別是 ALS 中可能扮演的不同角色。

Dr. David Blum 為法國國家衛生與醫學研究院（Inserm）Senior Research Director，任職於 Lille Neuroscience & Cognition Research Centre，長期專注於 Alzheimer’s disease、tauopathies、adenosine receptors、caffeine 與轉譯神經科學研究。他將以 “From caffeine to adenosine receptors, a translational journey in Alzheimer’s Disease” 為題，分享從 caffeine 到 adenosine receptors 於阿茲海默症研究中的轉譯歷程。

本次活動除兩場專題演講外，亦將安排 Meet-the-Experts Discussion & Networking Session，提供師生與兩位講者近距離交流的機會，討論 neurodegeneration、purinergic signaling、adenosine signaling 與 translational research 等相關議題。

本活動由國立臺灣大學醫學檢驗暨生物技術學系、國家重點領域頂尖研究中心－臺灣大學先進生醫研究中心、國立臺灣大學精準醫療推動中心共同主辦，並獲 NSTC PHC ORCHID 臺法幽蘭計畫雙邊人員交流計畫 支持。

Distinguished Seminar｜Purinergic and Adenosine Signaling in Neurodegenerative Diseases

The Maxo Chen Lab will host a Distinguished Seminar on Thursday, June 11, 2026, from 15:30 to 17:05 at the Department of Clinical Laboratory Sciences and Medical Biotechnology, National Taiwan University College of Medicine.

We are honored to welcome two distinguished neuroscientists from France for this special academic exchange.

Dr. Eric Boué-Grabot is a CNRS Research Director and Deputy Director of the Neurodegenerative Disease Institute (IMN), Bordeaux. His research focuses on purinergic signaling, P2X receptors, neuroinflammation, and central nervous system disorders. He will present a talk entitled “Opposing Roles of Neuronal and Microglial Purinergic Receptors in CNS Diseases: The Example of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.”

Dr. David Blum is a Senior Research Director at Inserm and a leading investigator at the Lille Neuroscience & Cognition Research Centre. His work focuses on Alzheimer’s disease, tauopathies, adenosine receptors, caffeine, and translational neuroscience. His talk, “From caffeine to adenosine receptors, a translational journey in Alzheimer’s Disease,” will highlight the translational path from caffeine research to adenosine receptor biology in Alzheimer’s disease.

In addition to the two invited lectures, the seminar will include a Meet-the-Experts Discussion & Networking Session, providing an opportunity for students and faculty members to interact directly with the speakers and discuss neurodegeneration, purinergic signaling, adenosine signaling, and translational research.

This event is co-organized by the Department of Clinical Laboratory Sciences and Medical Biotechnology, the Taiwan Centers of Excellence-NTU Advanced Biomedical Research Center, and the NTU Center of Precision Medicine, with support from the NSTC PHC ORCHID Taiwan-France bilateral exchange program.

Faculty members, students, and researchers interested in neurodegenerative diseases and neuronal signaling are warmly welcome to join.
