The Department of Translational Medicine & Physiology and the Sleep and Performance Research Center jointly welcomes Dr. Erin Gibson, assistant professor at Stanford University School of Medicine to WSU Spokane on Tuesday, Sept. 9. She will be providing her seminar at 12:10 p.m., “Temporal dynamics of oligodendroglia in health and disease,” in SAC 347 and via Zoom.
Dr. Gibson’s lab focuses on understanding how oligodendroglial cells modulate neural circuits throughout development and in brain disorders, with a focus on the intersection between sleep/circadian and glial biology in disorders such as autism spectrum disorders, multiple sclerosis, and Alzheimer’s disease. By using in vivo mouse and patient-derived iPSC models, the Gibson lab aims to understand the intrinsic molecular drivers and cell-cell interactions that regulate myelin dynamics throughout life, with the ultimate goal of finding therapeutic strategies to maintain myelin health.
We look forward to you joining us in SAC 347 or thru Zoom!
