Rare neurological diseases represent a unique challenge for scientists because neurons are notoriously difficult to study, and our understanding of basic neurobiology is incomplete. Using Niemann Pick Type C (NPC) disease as an example, universal mechanisms of neuronal loss can be revealed that suggest fundamentally-new strategies to curing disease. These new insights provide hope for a panel of lysosomal storage diseases that lack an effective therapy or cure.
Neil Lobo, Research Associate Professor at the University of Notre Dame, will give a seminar entitled "Malaria Elimination: From evidence to impact" on Tuesday, October 23 at 4:00 pm in 283 Galvin.
