Title: “Molecular Approaches to Mapping and Understanding Chemistry in the Brain”
Host: Dr. Brent Stockwell
Abstract
The brain and central nervous system requires among the highest levels of metals in the body, including transition metals like copper and iron, but misregulation of these same metal pools is a major player in aging and neurodegeneration. We are creating and applying new chemical tools to study metals and small-molecule signal/stress agents in neural systems by molecular imaging. This talk will present our latest results on developing new molecular imaging agents and their use in live cell, tissue, and animal settings.
