Archived Seminar: The Epigenetic Basis of Memory Formation and Dysregulation in Memory Disorders
Pioneers in Biomedical Research Seminar presented by the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC
The Epigenetic Basis of Memory Formation and Dysregulation in Memory Disorders
Date: Apr. 2, 2021
Time: 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
This presentation will not be archived on this page after the lecture.
About This Seminar
Dr. Lubin’s research team focuses on the study of molecular genetic mechanisms that govern how gene expression programs control memory formation in the healthy brain. Her research will help us to better understand how these epigenetic mechanisms are disturbed in neurological disorders like Alzheimer’s disease and epilepsy and provide potential treatment options to improve memory dysfunction associated with these disorders.
