SUMMARY:Pathobiology of Alzheimer's Disease: From Genetics to Therapies
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, March 12 5:00-6:30 pm\n5:00-5:30 pm Registration\n5:30-6:30 pm Presentation and Q&A\n\nIndustrious\, 500 W Madison Street\, #1000 Chicago\, IL\, 60661\n\n$5 JASC Members/Co-Organizer Members\n$15 Non-Members\n \n\n\n\nPresentation Synopsis\nDr. Sisodia’s research has focused on understanding the cellular and molecular biology of genes encoding proteins that cause early-onset\, genetic forms of Alzheimer’s Disease (FAD). His group developed and characterized transgenic mice that express FAD-linked gene variants and has shown that these animals develop deposits of Ab proteins and neuroinflammation\, that are characteristics of AD. His recent studies examined the potential role of the gut microbiota on Ab deposition and neuroinflammation\, which he will discuss in the lecture.\n \n\n\nA brief discussion of clinical issues will also be addressed. Attendees will receive a google survey link to add topics or questions that they would like to be covered in the presentation. Dr. Sisodia will do his best to address these areas.\n \n\nCLICK HERE for Dr. Sangram S. Sisodia’s Full Bio\n \n\n\nDr. Sangram S. Sisodia\nDr. Sangram S.
