Killam Speaker: Dr. Jordi Perez Tur

Title: A genetic approach to Parkinson's diseases:  Neurodegeneration
due to dardarin mutations
  
October 18, 4 PM, De Grandpre Communications Centre


Dr. Jordi Perez Tur (http://ugm.ibv.csic.es/) will be visiting the MNI
to give a Killam seminar on Oct 18. Jordi is a prolific neurogeneticist
and cell biologist with wide-ranging interests. His lab has ongoing
projects related to genes involved in movement disorders, epilepsy and
MS - some of his recent publications are listed below. 

Jordi is an engaging speaker and I am sure all will enjoy his seminar on
Tuesday, October 18th. I hope to see you there.

Best regards,
Phil Barker
