Yale Only Ana Maria Cuervo, MD, PhDMedical Grand Rounds: “Selective Autophagy: Enhancing Healthspan One Protein at a Time”
Translational Geroscience Lecture
Ana Maria Cuervo, of Albert Einstein College of Medicine, is co-director of the Einstein Institute for Aging Research. She studies the role of protein degradation in aging and age-related disorders, with emphasis in neurodegeneration and metabolic disorders.Yale Only Christopher Glass, MD, PhDImmunobiology Seminar: "Leveraging Dynamic Enhancer Landscapes to Decode Microphage Phenotypes in Health and Disease"
Christopher Glass, of the University of California San Diego, works to understand the mechanisms by which sequence-specific transcription factors, co-activators, and co-repressors regulate the development and function of macrophages.
Everyone Sergiu P. Pasca, MDYale Psychiatry Grand Rounds: "Constructing and Deconstructing the Human Nervous System to Study Development and Disease"
At Stanford University, Sergiu Pasca’s laboratory seeks to understand the rules that govern the assembly of the human brain and the molecular mechanisms that lead to neuropsychiatric disease. To achieve this, Dr. Pasca's team has pioneered and applied neural organoid and assembloid technologies to make discoveries in fundamental and clinical neuroscience.
