7:30 PM: Presentation
Understanding the complex events leading to cellular pathology and disease states in humans is critical to developing new treatment options for affected individuals. In this regard, quantitative fluorescent imaging approaches have provided valuable insight into our understanding of many diseases. I will discuss how my lab utilized live and fixed cell fluorescent microscopy to understand aspects of Human Immunodeficiency Virus-Type-1 (HIV-1) infection and the pathological properties of α-synuclein, a protein critical to the development of Parkinson’s disease.
