Brain Diseases: is a broad term for any brain disease that alters brain function or structure. The top three most common brain diseases are - Epilepsy, ALS, and Parkinson's Disease.
During this seminar I will present details of my path from Beckman Scholar to MD-PhD, advanced training as a neurologist, then a neurointensivist, and the interleaving of additional research...
Unique physical, chemical, and optical phenomena arise when materials are confined to the nanoscale. We are accustomed to making observations for the behavior of living systems on a macrosco...

The utility of Polygenic Risk Scores (PRS) is gaining researchers' attention for identifying individual genetic risk and disease risk prediction in Alzheimer's Disease (AD) at both t...
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is the primary technology used to identify genomic targets for vaccine development, detect emerging viral strains and monitor transmission patterns. Enhanced...
Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly aggressive disease associated with poor outcome. It is expected to be the leading cause of cancer-related death in 2030. The unique microe...
As the spread of infectious diseases, current pandemic, and growing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) continues globally, next-generation sequencing (NGS) and specifically metagenomics became a...
Modern biomedical research is being driven by large scale genetic and proteomic research to identify new targets for the study of disease mechanisms. While these techniques have been incredi...
Learning Objectives: 1. Learn why the complexity and repetitive structure of the human genome makes it impossible to detect all structural variants using short-read sequencing 2. Learn how h...

Identifying the diversity of neuronal cell types of the nervous system is one of the main objectives of the BRAIN Initiative, with the vision that distinct neuronal identities will allow for...
Neurodegenerative disease research can be considerably accelerated by using fibrillar or oligomeric constructs of prion-like proteins in in vitro or in vivo studies. These exist in a variety...
Learning is often an emotional process. Emotional stimuli with different valences, such as threat and reward, can transform an otherwise neutral sensory input into one that can trigger disti...
The accumulation of neurotoxic amyloid beta peptides and/or neurofibrillary tangle formation are key pathological hallmarks of neurodegenerative diseases including but not limited to Alzheim...
The US Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies is a research program focused on building fundamental knowledge of how brain circuits process information to enable human...
Although neuroscience has provided a great deal of information about how neurons work, the fundamental question of how neurons function together in a network to produce cognition has been di...
Autosomal dominant missense mutations that hyperactivate the LRRK2 protein kinase are a common cause of inherited Parkinson’s disease and therapeutic efficacy of LRRK2 inhibitors is be...
Brain function is remarkably reliable despite the imprecise performance of neurons, and the continuous perturbations caused by aging, disease or injury. How does the brain succeed in produci...
Misfolded and accumulated neurodegenerative disease associated proteins (NDAPs, such as tau and alpha-synuclein) represent the major pathological hallmark in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson&...
Open Science has changed research by making data accessible and shareable, contributing to replicability to accelerate and disseminate knowledge. However, for rodent cognitive studies the av...
Chaperone networks are dysregulated with aging, but whether compromised Hsp70/Hsp90 chaperone function disturbs neuronal resilience is unknown. Stress‐inducible phosphoprotein 1 (STI1; STIP1...
