Kentucky Neuroscience Institute Research Symposium 2019
Second year PhD student, Hank Richburg, was selected for a talk at the KNI Symposium! He presented his research on membrane-associated guanylate kinases and their roles in regulating neuronal activity.
Sanders-Brown Center on Aging Seminar
Sam discussed the use of C. elegans to understand how neurons and glia communicate to regulate the function of neuronal circuits. The seminar provided an opportunity to discuss new approaches to investigating intercellular signaling during healthy development and aging.
Kentucky Neuroscience Institute Research Symposium 2018
Sam shared his postdoctoral research on C. elegans as a way to gain insights into the mechanisms that underlie epilepsy. The symposium assembled researchers that spanned fundamental, pre-clinical, and translational research. Focusing on areas of neurotrauma, epilepsy, stroke and other…
