Neurosciences Seminar
Thursday, October 23, 2025
12 PM, BRB 105

Ben Clayton, PhD
Assistant Professor, Institute for Glial Sciences, Genetics & Genome Sciences,
Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine

Host: Dr. Pola Philippidou

Lecture Title: "Mapping and modulating glial cell reactivity"

Abstract: The overall goal of the Clayton lab is to identify and develop glial targeted medicines for neurological disease. To do this, we leverage scalable cellular models and high-throughput screening approaches to comprehensively define disease specific reactive glial states and the molecular regulators of those states.


Seminar Format
• Introduction by the host
• Presentation (approx. 45-50 min.)
Questions during the presentation are at the individual speaker’s discretion.
• 10-15 minutes of Q&A
We encourage students to ask the first questions.

Livestream will be available via Zoom for those who cannot attend in person.
