Members of the Case Western Reserve University community are invited to join the School of Medicine’s Department of Neurosciences for a Frontiers in Biological Sciences Lecture Tuesday, Jan. 7, from 4 to 5 p.m. in the Biomedical Research Building Auditorium (Room 105).
Paola Arlotta, the Golub Family Professor of Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology at Harvard University and an Institute Member of the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, will present “Human Brain Organoids as Avatars to Understand Human Brain Disease.”
This past year, Arlotta was elected to the National Academy of Medicine and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Her research has focused on molecular mechanisms underlying the development of subtypes of brain neurons most recently using brain organoids.
Attendees are encouraged to continue the conversation after the lecture with coffee and cookies in the lobby.
This event is free and open to the public. Livestream will be available for those who cannot attend in person, but the event will not be recorded.
