The Department of Translational Medicine and Physiology welcomes Dr. Chiara Manzini, Associate Professor at Rutgers-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in the Child Health Institute of New Jersey and Department of Neuroscience and Cell Biology.
Dr. Manzini will be providing her seminar, ‘Male-specific intracellular signaling and male bias in neurodevelopmental disorders‘, Tuesday, April 19, at 12 p.m., in person at the WSU Spokane Health Sciences campus, SAC 241, and via Zoom.
The main goal of Dr. Manzini’s research is to bridge the genetics and mechanisms of disease to identify genes that are essential for human cognition and to define the molecular mechanisms underlying neurodevelopmental disorders focusing on autism and neuromuscular disorders. The Manzini lab combines human genetics with molecular, cellular, and behavioral approaches in murine and zebrafish models to link human genetics to neuronal cell biology, intracellular signaling, and behavior. Her recent work aims to identify molecular mechanisms that could underlie sex bias in autism.
We look forward to you joining us in person (SAC 241) or through Zoom!
