Human Physiology Webinars

Dr. Merry Lindsey will discuss her extracellular matrix research to provide insight into future directions that will drive the understanding of recovery after myocardial infarction.

Dr. De La Monte will discuss her research involving the roles of brain insulin deficiency and insulin resistance in Alzheimer’s disease.

In this webinar, Dr. Joy Wu will review the pathophysiology of bone loss with aging, in particular the imbalance between bone formation by osteoblasts and bone resorption by osteoclasts. She will discuss stem cell sources of osteoblasts, anabolic signaling pathways, and targeting inflammation and senescence.

Dr. Marcela Maus discusses CAR T Cell research, the components and technologies used in making a T cell product, important considerations for efficacy, and underlying mechanisms of toxicity and resistance.

Join Dr. Rizwan Qaisar and Matt Borkowski for a deep dive into the experimental protocols used for measuring muscle function and mechanics for in vivo and in vitro research.

Dr. Jerrold Turner discusses the barrier function of the intestine, how the permeability of tight junctions in the gut epithelium is modulated, and the impact of this modulation on homeostasis and health.

Dr. Charlotte Peterson and Dr. Jack Guralnik will discuss the challenges of sarcopenia. They will define the disease and provide an in depth overview of the underlying mechanisms of pathology. They will then share some potential therapeutic interventions and disease outcomes for patients.

During this webinar, Dr. Matt Kaeberlein will provide an overview of translational geroscience, which he believes will become the paradigm for the practice of medicine in the 21st century. He will also discuss recent work with one such intervention, the drug rapamycin, and its potential to enhance healthspan in companion dogs and people.

Join Dr. John Waters as he discusses how to help students organize their understanding of biology around larger themes that are common across the life sciences. This is the fourth webinar in this 4-part series on how science education has evolved in the face of new challenges.

Arguably, the “gold-standard” method for noninvasive assessment of cardiovascular disease risk is pulse wave velocity (PWV). Join experts for a complete, in-depth overview of their research involving PWV in a variety of different applications and a deep dive into the methods they use to record high-quality, repeatable data.

During this webinar, Alex Dimov and Frazer Findlay walk you through all the steps of creating and analyzing multimodal experiments.
