SUMMARY:BHI Plenary Seminar: Timothy A. Ryan\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:“Metabolic vulnerabilities and opportunities in brain function”\nSpeaker: Timothy A. Ryan\, PhD\nProfessor of Biochemistry and Biophysics Professor of Biochemistry in Anesthesiology Tri-Institutional Professor\nWeill Cornell Medicine \nAbstract of the Talk: “Metabolic Vulnerabilities and Opportunities in Brain Function”\nOur brains are metabolically vulnerable\, as even brief interruptions in proper fueling lead to rapid degradation in cognitive performance. My lab identified presynaptic function as one of the likely loci of this vulnerability and has leveraged the sensitivity of synaptic vesicle recycling to metabolic compromise to dissect the molecular underpinnings of how local ATP production is balanced during electrical activity in axons. Our work has helped identify critical control points that in turn appear central to neurodegenerative diseases and offer new therapeutic approaches to neurodegeneration.\nLearn more \nDate and Time: February 19\, 12:00 – 1:30 PM \nIn-Person Location:  Center for Advanced Biotechnology and Medicine (CABM)\, Room 010\, Busch Campus\, Piscataway \nZoom Meeting: https://rutgers.zoom.us/s/94481219250\nMeeting ID: 944 8121 9250  |  Passcode: 021926

SUMMARY:Department of Genetics Seminar: Tsuyoshi Miyakawa\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:“Neuronal Immaturity Induced by Neural Excitations as an Endophenotype of Neuropsychiatric Disorders”\nEvent Start Date: 2026-02-09\nEvent Start Time: 12:00 PM\nEvent End Time: 1:00 PM\nEvent Location: Life Sciences Building Auditorium (LSB) 15 \nTsuyoshi Miyakawa\, PhD\, is a Professor and the director of the Division of Systems Medical Science at Fujita Health University. He received B.A\, M.A\, and Ph.D. degrees in Psychology\, in 1993\, 1995 and 1997 respectively\, at the University of Tokyo (Advisor: Hiroaki Niki). After being a Research Scientist at Niki’s lab at Riken Brain Science Institute\, he moved to the US in 1998 and received postdoctoral training from Jacqueline Crawley in Section on Behavioral Neuropharmacology at National Institute of Mental Health. In 1999\, he became a Research Assistant Professor of Pharmacology at Vanderbilt University. He then moved to Picower Center for Learning and Memory\, directed by Susumu Tonegawa\, at MIT in 2001 and was a Research Scientist and the supervisor of behavior core facility there. He has been investigating the relationships between genes\, brain and behavior by utilizing a “comprehensive behavioral test battery” on genetically engineered mice since 1993. At MIT\, he found that forebrain-specific calcineurin knockout mice show multiple abnormal behaviors related to schizophrenia with the strategy and this made him believe that a systematic investigation of the behaviors of mutant mice is helpful in understanding the pathophysiology and pathogenesis of neuropsychiatric disorders. Since coming back to Japan in 2003\, Miyakawa and his colleagues have assessed more than 200 different strains of mutant mice and they are trying to find what is happening in the brains of the mice models of psychiatric disorders. \nHost: Gleb Shumyatsky\, Ph.D. \, Professor\, Department of Genetics

SUMMARY:Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementia Translational Work-in-Progress (ADRD-TWIP): Patricia Fitzgerald-Bocarsly\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:“Does Peripheral Immunosenesence Contribute to Alzheimer’s Disease and Provide Potential Targets for Intervention?”\nSpeaker: Patricia Fitzgerald-Bocarsly\, PhD\nProvost\, Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences\, Newark\nProfessor of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine\nRutgers New Jersey Medical School and Center for Immunity and Inflammation \nDr. Fitzgerald-Bocarsly is a cellular immunologist and will discuss some of her work on immune senescence in the context of aging. She is working on a potential grant application that will build on some of her work on immune characterization of aging humans to investigate the increased senescence signature in peripheral blood immune populations from aging humans and the possible contribution of immune senescence to Alzheimer’s Disease. In addition to her groundbreaking work in innate immunity to viral infections\, Dr. Fitzgerald-Bocarsly’s research focuses on senescence of immune populations in blood of donors ranging from cord blood to individuals in their 80s and above\, with an emphasis on CD8+ T cell subsets as well as innate immune cells.\nThis is not a formal talk and discussion and critique are very much welcome. \nDate and Time: Wednesday\, Feb 4\, 12-1 PM \nZoom: https://rutgers.zoom.us/j/94769804345?pwd=IMqJIIvuDmRl997R6O4U4NKbt6UWfs.1\nMeeting ID: 947 6980 4345; Password: 454288

SUMMARY:NJACE Symposia: Roy R. Grinker\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:“Diagnosing the Spectrum: The Role of Culture in the Study of Autism”\nDate and Time: Thursday\, January 29\, 2026\, 12 – 1 PM \nSpeaker: Roy R. Grinker\, PhD \nIn this lecture\, Roy R. Grinker\, Ph.D.\, Professor of Anthropology at the George Washington University\, lecture responds to what some commentators call an “autism epidemic.” Drawing on personal experience\, the history of diagnosis\, and cross-cultural variations in the identification of developmental disorders and mental illnesses\, he traces the cultural and historical processes that have shifted the definitions and boundaries of the concept of autism. He emphasizes that autism is best thought of as “autisms” (multiple pathways and presentations)\, shaped not only by biology but by social meanings\, institutions\, and inequalities. The lecture closes by urging policies and research to prioritize lifespan support\,\nservices\, and inclusion\, rather than to search for easy answers or single causes. \nRSVP HERE By January 26: https://rutgers.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eEG3TC2hGtKdUoe

DESCRIPTION:“Elucidating Mechanistic Underpinning of a Mind-Body Intervention in older adults with MCI and AD. A Katz Grant Application”\nNathan Wages\, PhD \nAssistant Professor\, Department of Rehabilitation & Movement Sciences\, School of Health Professions\nCore Member\, Rutgers Brain Health Institute (BHI) \nDr. Wages will present the specific aims for a Katz R01 grant\, which he is an MPI with Dr. Jean-Francois Daneault. Dr. Wages’ research focuses on delineating the dysfunction of the neuromuscular & sensorimotor systems with profound muscle weakness\, due to aging (e.g.\, sarcopenia)\, injury (e.g.\, ACL)\, illness (e.g.\, COVID-19)\, & neurodegeneration (e.g.\, Alzheimer’s Disease)\, as well as its potential restoration. This is not a formal talk\, and discussion and critique are very much welcome! \nDate and Time: Wednesday\, Jan 14\, 12-1 PM \nZoom: https://rutgers.zoom.us/j/94769804345?pwd=IMqJIIvuDmRl997R6O4U4NKbt6UWfs.1\nMeeting ID: 947 6980 4345; Password: 454288
