‘Peering into the Operating System: Sleep and Disease’ — SPRC Seminar Jan. 23, 12:10 p.m.

Dr. Keith Hengen — assistant professor at Washington University in St. Louis Biology Department — will be visiting WSU Spokane for the SPRC Seminar Series. His seminar entitled “Peering into the Operating System: Sleep and Disease” will be in person in the Spokane Center for Clinical Research and Simulation room 250 and through Zoom on Tuesday, Jan. 23, 12:10–1 p.m.

Dr. Keith Hengen has been an assistant professor in the Department of Biology at Washington University in St. Louis since 2017.

The Hengen Lab primarily posits that the most important feature of neurobiological computation is reliability, which serves as a foundational element for learning, complex behavior, and cognition. To explore this, the lab employs a multidisciplinary approach that includes long-term neurophysiology, computational modeling, theory, and cell biology. His work has been recognized through several prestigious awards.

We look forward to you joining us in person (SCCRS 250) or through Zoom!
