"Propagation of protein misfolding in tauopathy"
Tuesday, May 15, 2012
11:30 am - 12:30 pm
Marc Diamond, MD, Associate Professor of Neurology, Washingtion University in St. Louis
Ruth K and Shepard Broad Seminar Series on Neurobiology and Disease
Sponsor(s): Neurobiology
Dr. Diamond's laboratory is focused on basic research to identify therapeutic targets and develop small molecules to treat human disease,especially targeting abnormal protein conformational change, which plays a key role in neurodegenerative diseases such as Huntington disease (HD) and tauopathies. He uses a range of approaches: biochemistry, cell and molecular biology, and animal models.
