Dean's Workshops

Thursday, March 27, 2025 - This workshop introduces our new inter-departmental Stephen & Denise Adams Center for Parkinson’s Disease Research led by founding Director Clemens Scherzer, MD. The session, titled "Building the Future of Precision Neurology," will be held on Thursday, March 27, from 1 to 5 p.m.

Tuesday, October 22, 1 - 4 p.m - The immune system, critical for human health and implicated in many diseases, defends against pathogens, monitors physiological stresses, and maintains tissue and organismal homeostasis. The immune system thus provides an informative window into the health and physiologic state of every person.

Wednesday, March 6, 1 - 4 p.m. - Within six years, obesity is projected to affect half of all Americans, according to recent research. However, newly emerging, highly effective treatments and new discoveries regarding the pathophysiology of obesity provide promise for combating this growing epidemic. In this workshop investigators will present their research on mechanisms of human obesity and the therapeutic impact of novel agents.

Thursday, February 9, 2023 1 - 4 p.m. - Human organoids and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) present powerful experimental models to advance our understanding of development and disease. This workshop presents innovative studies across our campus, including advancing organoids and iPSCs as model systems, investigations of somatic mosaicism in humans, regulation of human cell intrinsic and extrinsic developmental processes, and as a resource for cell-based therapeutics.
