Upcoming Events

This event focuses on topics like amyloid biology, neurodevelopment and degeneration, protein science, and both experimental and computational methods. It offers attendees a chance to share research, learn new techniques, network with peers and faculty, and explore collaborations. Students are encouraged to present existing posters (up to 36 inches), with opportunities to compete for prizes, and lunch will be provided.

This seminar will present recent findings on pathological tau aggregates in neurodegenerative diseases which form distinct polymorphic species across neurodegenerative diseases and even across Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients, exploring implications for diagnostics and drug development.

This seminar explores how protein misfolding and accumulation drive neurodegeneration across diseases ranging from the rare inherited spinocerebelar ataxia to the all-too-common Alzheimer's disease. It will highlight how genetic screens have helped identify modulators of tau protein levels.

This seminar will present recent advances in cellular models that overturn conventional assumptions about tau assembly processing, and will describe how prion-based cell assays enable mechanistically grounded detection, discrimination, and classification of tau assemblies.
