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.
