Distinguished Seminars
IGB established the Distinguished Seminar Series in 1990 to encourage the exchange of ideas across the barriers of time, space and disciplines. Each year we invite distinguished professionals, to give presentations on topics of current interest. Speakers may discuss recently completed or early-stage research that they have undertaken or report other types of professional activity. Some topics align closely with our current research directions, while others represent areas of interest to the library and information science community that are not formally being studied by our researchers. Diversity of topics is essential to meeting the purpose of the Distinguished Seminar Series.

Prof. Yuri Bozzi – “Somatosensory differences and neuroinflammation in genetic models of autism spectrum disorders”
Yuri Bozzi, Ph.D. Director Center for Mind/Brain Sciences (CIMeC) – University of Trento yuri.bozzi@unitn.it Sensory differences are a common feature in autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Similarly, sensory deficits have been described in mice lacking ASD-associated genes. We investigated somatosensory abnormalities in Cntnap2 and Shank3b mutant mice, two well-characterized mouse models of ASD. Our work showed […] ...
Prof. Thorsten Hornemann – “Sphingolipids in Neurological Disorders”
Prof. Thorsten Hornemann Institute of Clinical Chemistry, University Hospital, Zurich, Switzerland Abstract: Sphingolipids play a critical role in the pathophysiology of nerve disorders including leukodystrophies, the Hereditary Sensory and Autonomic Neuropathy Type 1 (HSAN1), Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and the Diabetic Sensory Neuropathy. They modulate cellular signaling pathways, which are crucial in […] ...
