Alex Trotier Presents His Research at the Gordon Research Seminar, 'Molecular and Cellular Mecha

Alexandre Trotier recently presented his work "Mechanically induced neuroinflammation to reproduce peri-electrode gliosis macro environment" during a 20 min podium talk at the Gordon Research Seminar 'Neurobiology of Brain Disorders, Molecular and Cellular Mechanisms of Neurodegenerative Diseases' (August 4 - 5, 2018). The Gordon Research Seminar on Neurobiology of Brain Disorders is a unique forum held every 2 years for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas.

The meeting focus on molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. This meeting gives students, postdocs, and early investigators the opportunity to discuss their research on topics including protein processing and trafficking, formation and spreading of protein aggregates, synaptic function, mitochondrial function, and the interplay between neurons and glia.
