Activity-Dependent Gene Regulation in Health and Disease
In the last of this year’s Brain Prize webinars, Elizabeth Pollina (Washington University, USA), Eric Nestler (Icahn School of Medicine Mount Sinai, USA) and Michelle Monje (Stanford University, USA) will present their work on activity-dependent gene regulation in health and disease. Each speaker will present for 25 minutes, and the webinar will conclude with an open discussion. The webinar will be moderated by the winners of the 2023 Brain Prize, Michael Greenberg, Erin Schuman and Christine Holt.
Dysfunctional translation in disease
In the fifth of this year’s Brain Prize webinars, Emily Osterweil (Harvard Medical School, USA), Gary Bassell (Emory University, USA) and Giovanna Mallucci (Altos Labs, UK) will present their work on dysfunctional translation in disease. Each speaker will present for 25 minutes, and the webinar will conclude with an open discussion. The webinar will be moderated by two of the winners of the 2023 Brain Prize, Michael Greenberg and Erin Schuman.
Synapse-to-Nucleus Signaling
In the fourth of this year’s Brain Prize webinars, Mike Fainzilber (Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel), Yingxi Lin (UT Southwestern, USA), and Richard Tsien (New York University, USA) will present their work on synapse to nucleus signalling. Each speaker will present for 25 minutes, and the webinar will conclude with an open discussion. The webinar will be moderated by two of the winners of the 2023 Brain Prize, Michael Greenberg and Erin Schuman.
The Brain Prize winner's webinar
In 2023, Michael Greenberg (Harvard, USA), Erin Schuman (Max Planck Institute for Brain Research, Germany) and Christine Holt (University of Cambridge, UK) were awarded The Brain Prize for their pioneering work on activity-dependent gene transcription and local mRNA translation. In this webinar, all 3 Brain Prize winners will present their work. Each speaker will present for 25 minutes and the webinar will conclude with an open discussion. The webinar will be moderated by Kelsey Martin from the Simons Foundation.
