DPAG Neuroscience Seminar: 'Cytokines in brain plasticity and neurodegeneration'

Audience: Member of University - ALL Format: In Person
Add to my calendar

Friday, 26 June 2026, 2.30pm to 3.30pm

Our group studies how non-neuronal regulation, including immune signaling, shapes brain plasticity and disease. Here I will discuss how precise deposition of extracellular matrix and its remodeling by microglia dynamically regulates hippocampal learning and memory. I will also show how similar biological motifs may be relevant to Alzheimer’s Disease and discuss approaches to immune-based therapeutics for neurodegeneration.

Speaker(s): Professor Anna Molofsky (University of California, San Francisco)

Series: DPAG Neuroscience Seminars

Venue: Sherrington Building - Sherrington Library - Sherrington Library Sherrington Building off Parks Road Oxford Oxfordshire OX1 3PT United Kingdom
