Additional information
The brain is all about connection and communication, with cells sharing information back and forth in a variety of ways. Breakdowns in those channels can be major contributors to conditions ranging from schizophrenia to Alzheimer's disease. In this special Broad Discovery Series x BroadIgnite event, neurobiologist Ralda Nehme will talk about new ways of exploring brain cell cross-talk in the lab, while chemical biologist Shiwei Wang will explain how cells in the brain and beyond use sugars as a messaging system, and why that matters in neurodegenerative disorders.
For this event, the Broad Discovery Series is partnering with BroadIgnite, which connects philanthropists with early-career researchers involved in high-risk, potentially high-reward projects.
