Emmanuelle Wilhelm took part, for the first time, in the 23rd Annual Congress of the International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society (MDS) held at the Palais des Expositions - Nice Acropolis, France, from September 22 - 26, 2019. There, she had the occasion to present a poster with the data of her first Parkinson’s project. Since this meeting brings together the greatest experts in Movement Disorders and Parkinson’s disease in the world, it was a great platform to interact with the specialists and start building her international network in the field. Besides, the conference also allowed her to spend some sunny free moments in the beautiful town on the French Riviera.

Caroline Quoilin took part in the 17th Congress of the European Society for Biomedical Research on Alcoholism (ESBRA), held at Lille, France, during September 21 - 24, 2019. There, she had the occasion to give a talk regarding new data acquired in collaboration with Dr. Sophie Leclercq, in which she attempts to evaluate whether a prebiotics supplementation in alcohol-dependent patients, by restoring the composition of their gut microbiota, would allow to improve motor inhibitory abilities and to alter the physiology of the motor system.
