=============================== 

 

Dear Colleagues,

 

Please join us for this week's Killam seminar presented by Dr. Eric Frank.  Dr. Frank is a professor of Cellular and Molecular Physiology at Tufts University.  Research in his lab is directed towards an understanding of how neurons make appropriate synaptic connections in the central nervous system.  They use molecular approaches to identify proteins involved in the guidance of sensory axons to their correct synaptic partners within the spinal cord.  They are also interested in the role of transcription factors and cell adhesion molecules in specifying the precise pattern of synaptic connections between sensory and motor neurons.  He applies his work to the understanding of appropriate wiring during development, during regeneration and in neurodegenerative diseases.
