Dear Colleagues,
Dr. Bill Snider will be giving the Killam seminar on February 19th.  Dr.
Snider is the Director of the Neuroscience Center at the University of
North Carolina, Chapel Hill.  Work in his laboratory is directed at
understanding the role of neuronal growth factors in the development and
regeneration of axons. They employ sensory neurons of the DRG as a model
system and translate their findings into mouse models.  More information
about his research can be found on his webpage at:
http://www.neuroscience.unc.edu/faculty_homepages/snider/default.htm. I
have attached a list of several recent publications below for reference.
Please join us for what will be an outstanding seminar.
