Charting the Path for Alzheimer's Prevention with the Colombian Kindred with Autosomal Dominant Alzheimer's Disease
NIH Director ’ s Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series
Florence Mahoney Lecture on Aging. Speaker Quiroz ’ s research interests focus on studying the neural underpinnings of memory dysfunction in the preclinical stages of Alzheimer ’ s disease (AD). By applying her efforts to the world ’ s largest family with a single, early onset AD-causing mutation (E280A in PSEN1), her research has provided evidence of brain abnormalities in individuals at genetic risk for AD decades before their clinical onset. Her findings have helped the field to re-conceptualize Alzheimer ’ s as a sequence of changes that begins decades befor...

Leveraging the Intramural Research Program to Effect Foundational Progress in Neurodegenerative Disease
This is the annual G. Burroughs Mider Lecture. Speaker Andrew Singleton works on the genetic basis of neurological disorders including Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer ’ s disease, dystonia, ataxia, dementia with Lewy bodies, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). His team seeks to identify genetic variability that causes or contributes to disease and to use this knowledge to understand the underlying molecular processes. Most recently his work has expanded to the use of multimodal data in predicting disease. Dr. Singleton ’ s group discovered a number of genetic mutations that cause disease, including the alpha-synucl...

WALS Lecture with Danielle Bassett on Biological Networks
Speaker Danielle S. Bassett ’ s group studies the structure and function of networks, predominantly in physical and biological systems. Her interests lie in using and developing tools and theories from complex systems science, statistical mechanics, and applied mathematics to study dynamic changes in network architecture, the interaction between topological properties of networks and physical or other constraints, and the influence of network topology on signal propagation (mechanical, electrical, informational) and system function. In physical systems, her group conducts research in dynamical systems as well as granular...

Demystifying Medicine: Autophagy: Mechanisms and Malfunctioning in Neurodegenerative Diseases
Demystifying Medicine Lecture Series
Autophagy is the body's natural way to clean out damaged cells. Yet defects across the various stages of autophagy appear to be a common link among neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Understanding the breakdown of autophagy processes may offer important insights into pathogenesis and therapy.
Dr. Cuervo is the Robert and Ren é e Belfer Chair for the Study of Neurodegenerative Diseases at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Her lab has linked alterations in lysosomal protein degradation, a form of autophagy, with numerous neu...
