VI Neurobiology meeting of the Mexican Society For Biochemistry

WELCOME

We are delighted to invite the scientific community, and especially neurobiologists, to participate in the VI Neurobiology Meeting, which will take place in the beautiful city of San Luis Potosí, San Luis Potosí, from September 20 to 24, 2025. This event aims to present the latest advances in neurobiology from Mexico and worldwide, foster academic interaction between students and researchers, and create a platform for sharing ideas on education, outreach, and innovation among national and international participants.

In addition, we warmly invite the citizens of San Luis Potosí to join us on Saturday, September 20, for an open-door event titled “Neurosciences for Everyone: A Conversation with Our Scientists.” This family-friendly event will allow adults, young people, and children to engage with neuroscientists, ask questions, and explore topics related to brain function and a wide range of neurobiology and neuroscience subjects.
