We are pleased to announce the upcoming ISMB Seminar Series for the Autumn/Term 1 2024-25, “Understanding neuronal processes at multiple scales - key questions and new approaches”.
This week's speaker is Paul Miller from the University of Cambridge and their talk, New approaches to understanding and targeting the brain’s greatest gatekeeper: the GABA-A receptor, hosted by Matthew Gold.
Neurons are highly-differentiated cells that employ great structural and functional diversity within networks that underlie brain function. However, understanding how these cells function at the molecular level is no small challenge. The autumn seminar series in 2024 will examine how neurons are able to perform complex functions using simple molecular building blocks. The seminar series will include talks on the molecular structure of neurons at different scales assisted by the latest high-resolution imaging approaches. Speakers will also examine the molecular basis of neuronal functions including cytoskeletal trafficking, localised protein synthesis, and circuit formation. In addition, the series will explore how molecular insights may be exploited in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.
The series is co-ordinated by Matthew Gold and Andres Ramos.
