A monthly seminar series (sponsored by the Sections of Geriatrics and Gerontology and the Center for Neuroscience) aimed at providing a focal point for the dissemination of information and increasing the awareness of neurodegenerative disease research performed on campus. Each month a research laboratory presents two talks each of about 35-40 minutes. Seminar Series for 2007-2008: September 4th: Avtar Roopa, Ph.D. "Metabolic regulation of neuronal gene expression in epilepsy and cancer" October 2nd: Brad Postle, Ph.D. "Using repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation to study working memory" November 6th: Ben Campbell, Ph.D."Hormones and aging" December 4th: Erik Dent, Ph.D. "Cytoskeletal-associated-proteins andthe nervous system" January 8th: Dengshun Wang, MD, Ph.D. "Abeta-degrading Enzymes and Alzheimer's Disease" February 5th: Corinna Burger, Ph.D. "Strategies to generate Animal Models for neurodegenerative disordersusing recombinant Adeno-associated virus" March 4th: Anita Bhattacharyya, Ph.D. "Down syndrome and Alzheimer's Disease" April 1st: Cynthia Carlsson, M.D., M.S. "Cholesterol and Alzheimer's Disease" May 6th: Luigi Puglielli, M.D., Ph.D. "p44 and APP: synergistic regulation of the aging program?" June 3rd: Craig Atwood, Ph.D. "Hormones, Stem Cells and Alzheimer's Disease" Time: First Tuesday of each month (except January, 2nd Tuesday), 12:00-1:30 PM. NEW Location: Waisman Center, Room T216 (convenient for those at the Waisman Center, Pharmacology, CSC and VA hospital). Food: Kindly donated by the Center for Neuroscience.
