Biological Sciences Colloquium: Dr. Claire Richardson
March 15 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Dr. Claire Richardson, University of Wisconsin-Madison, will present a talk about her work entitled, “Sustaining the Brain: Insights into Neuronal Maintenance from Ageless Animals to Lysosomal Degradation”
Research Description:
Aging is the principal risk factor for cognitive decline and neurodegenerative disease. From worms to humans, neuronal aging is associated with decay in cellular function and increased risk for disease pathologies. The Richardson Lab aims to understand the fundamental cell biology underlying neuronal aging, which will lead to strategies for intervention.
