Key Points
- The Foundation recently invited a lecture by John Lukens, PhD, an expert in Alzheimer’s and neurodegenerative disorders.
- Launched in 2015, the Seminar Series includes in-person seminars and broadcast webinars relevant to the focused ultrasound community.
The Foundation’s Seminar Series returns with a presentation by John Lukens, PhD, associate professor of Neuroscience at the University of Virginia and newly appointed Director of the Harrison Family Center for Alzheimer’s and Neurodegenerative Research. In his talk, “Brain Drainage and Microglia in Neurodegenerative Disease,” Dr. Lukens describes his discoveries on brain drainage and microglia function, shedding new light on neurodegenerative diseases and potential focused ultrasound applications.
In this seminar, you’ll learn about:
- Recent findings on brain lymphatics and their role in health and disease
- The impact of traumatic brain injury on brain function and Alzheimer’s disease risk
- Cutting-edge research on microglia in Alzheimer’s
- Potential therapeutic approaches using focused ultrasound technology
Discover how these advances are shaping our understanding of brain health and paving the way for focused ultrasound treatments in neurodegenerative disorders.
The Foundation’s Seminar Series was launched in 2015 and has grown to include both in-person seminars and broadcast webinars covering topics of interest to the focused ultrasound community. New seminars are being planned quarterly.
