The blood-brain barrier (BBB) separates the blood circulation from the brain tissue. However, despite its name, the BBB is far from a static, impenetrable barrier. Instead, this highly dynamic structure responds to and regulates the complex requirements of brain function. To advance our knowledge of how the BBB impacts health and disease, the 2nd edition of the Barcelona Blood-Brain Barrier Conference will bring together scientists from across the globe to discuss emerging topics in BBB physiology, pathology and translational research. This interdisciplinary event will incorporate neuroscience, vascular biology, protein engineering, bioengineering, and nanomedicine to provide a unique platform to foster collaboration and address challenges shaping the future of this field.
The conference is organised by the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC), a BIST Community centre, and the Institut Químic de Sarrià (IQS).
