  Biography: Professor Gonçalo Castelo-Branco is a Professor of Glial Cell 
 Biology at the Department of Medical Biochemistry and Biophysics at Karoli
 nska Institutet\, Stockholm\, Sweden. Prof. Castelo-Branco received his Ph
 D in Medical Biochemistry in 2005\, working on development of dopaminergic
  neurons and neural stem differentiation. He completed post-doctoral fello
 wships first at the Karolinska Institutet and then at the University of Ca
 mbridge\, United Kingdom\, working in neural and pluripotent stem cells an
 d chromatin. Prof. Castelo-Branco started his research group in 2012\, foc
 using on the molecular mechanisms regulating the epigenomic states of olig
 odendrocyte lineage cells in neuroinflammatory and demyelinating diseases 
 such as multiple sclerosis (MS)\, using technologies such as single cell a
 nd spatial transcriptomics and epigenomics\, among others. The long-term g
 oal of his group is to build a solid platform of convergent knowledge and 
 know-how on the epigenetics of (re)myelination and neuroinflammation\, whi
 ch will allow to establish innovative regenerative strategies for neuroinf
 lammatory diseases such as MS. Prof. Castelo-Branco has received many pres
 tigious awards and grants\, including European Research Council Consolidat
 or and Advanced Grants\, the Swedish Society for Medical Research (SSMF) 1
 00 years Jubileum Prize\, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences Göran Gust
 afsson Prize 2021 in Medicine and the Hans Wigzell prize 2022. Prof. Caste
 lo-Branco was elected in 2023 to the Nobel Assembly at Karolinska Institut
 et\, that yearly awards the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.\n\n\nMe
