Dr. Przedborsky is the Page and William Black Professor of Neurolog y\, Co-Director of the Center for Motor Neuron Biology and Disease\, Depar tments of Neurology\, Pathology\, and Cell Biology\, College of Physicians and Surgeons\, Columbia University. Dr. Serge Przedborski has pioneered the investigation of molecular mechanisms of neuronal death in the MPTP mo del of Parkinson's disease (PD) and in the mutant superoxide dismutase mod el of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). His research has demonstrated t he importance of the cascade of deleterious events - oxidative stress\, in flammation and apoptosis - in the demise of nigral dopaminergic neurons in PD and of spinal cord motor neurons in ALS. http://przedborski-lab.hs.co lumbia.edu/ DTSTART:20130501T174500Z DTEND:20130501T184500Z LOCATION:de Grandpre Communications Centre\, Montreal Neurological Institut e\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 2B4\, 3801 rue University SUMMARY:SPECIAL SEMINAR: 'The Role of Astrocytes in Neurodegeneration' URL:/channels-contribute/channels/event/special-semina r-role-astrocytes-neurodegeneration-225757 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
