Please join us for the Mikashi Award Impact Presentations, presented by the Catherine and Don Kleinmuntz Center for Genomics in Business and Society. We will hear final presentations from Mikashi awardees Dr. Brian Cunningham and Dr. Paul Hergenrother, who will share how Mikashi Award funding supported their work on cancer research.
Rats and humans alike readily navigate to destinations we have previously visited. This seminar will discuss how representations of those places are stored in the hippocampal formation and then utilized to guide future behavior by transforming that information through cortico-striatal pathways.

A better understanding of genetic epilepsy mechanisms is needed to develop precision therapies for patients. To shed light on these mechanisms, we are combining mouse and human pluripotent stem cell models. I will discuss our work modeling genetic epilepsies (SCN8A, PCDH19 and MECP2) using human pluripotent stem cell-derived 2-D neuronal and brain organoid cultures.
