The fruit fly Drosophila is an incredibly useful model organism for studying neurodegenerative disease due to its short lifespan and wide array of genetic tools.

Our sessions will feature world-leading researchers in the field, as well as early-career researchers, sharing their latest findings in neurodegeneration.

All sessions will be held on Thursdays at 16:00 London, UK time, dates follow below.  

Time: May 16, 2024 04:00 PM London

Speaker: Prof Maggie Pearce, Biological & Biomedical Sciences & Research, Rowan University, USA

Talk title: "Roles for glia in protein aggregate spreading in neurodegenerative disease."

To keep conversations going after the talks, we have set up a Slack workspace for Neurodegeneration in Flies. Please join in to post and respond to follow-up questions for speakers, job adverts, requests for advice or collaboration, and general conversation about the joys of working with flies!
