Prof Hollis Cline is the Chair & Hahn Professor of Neuroscience and Director of the Dorris Neuroscience Center at the Scripps Research Institute. Dr Cline will be presenting her research on exosome-mediated communication between cells in the brain. Here the abstract of Prof Cline’s talk:

Intercellular signaling is critical for brain development as well as brain function throughout the lifespan. In this talk I will present our studies demonstrating a role for exosome-mediated intercellular signaling mediated in neuronal circuit development and present a framework for examining the contribution of exosome-mediated signally in brain diseases. I will also discuss our studies examining proteomic dynamics in brain development and visual system plasticity.

The talk will be followed by a trip to a local pub - we really encourage you to join!
