Talk Title: TBD Toby Merson, PhD Investigator Chief, Oligodendroglial Interactions Group Dr. Merson’s research aims to advance our understanding of oligodendroglial cell function in the central nervous system. His interests span from neurodevelopment to ageing and extends to perturbations in oligodendroglial homeostasis that contribute to mental health disorders and neurodegenerative diseases. A central interest is […]

Talk Title: TBD Noelle L’Etoile, PhD Professor, Cell and Tissue Biology University of California San Francisco The L’Etoile Lab investigates how neurons perceive and transmit information both in response to novel and persistent environmental cues. We use the nematode C. elegans because its neuronal circuitry is completely described, and exhibits robust plasticity. C. elegans also […]
