Scientists Meet Scientists – TUM-IAS Wednesday Coffee Talk by Dr. Benedikt Zott on “Neuronal dysfunctions in Alzheimer’s disease – mechanisms and implications for therapy”
Events, WCT |
On 15 January 2025, Dr. Benedikt Zott (Clinic for Neuroradiology, TUM University Hospital / Albrecht Struppler Clinician Scientist Fellow) will talk about "Neuronal dysfunctions in Alzheimer’s disease – mechanisms and implications for therapy.”
Abstract:
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is defined by the extracellular deposition of β-amyloid and the intracellular accumulation of hyperphosphorylated tau in certain brain areas, eventually causing neuronal cell death and dementia. In addition, accumulating evidence from mouse models and human patients indicates that neurons change their rate of action potential firing, i.e., become dysfunctional already at early disease stages. In this talk, I will discuss the mechanisms of neuronal dysfunctions and present my work on a novel Aβ-binding protein which prevents neuronal dysfunctions in mouse models of early AD.

THE TUM-IAS WEDNESDAY COFFEE TALKS
Every Wednesday after lunch, it's all about a new topic - current research highlights at TUM, insights into the work of our Fellows from all over the world, sometimes even topics not usually found at TUM, such as history or theology.
The talks held online start every Wednesday during TUM lecture time at 13:00 CE(S)T. Everyone is welcome - TUM researchers of all levels, students, visiting scholars, and anyone interested!
Each final Wednesday of the month, a topic related to the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals will be featured as a part of the Seminar Series of European Universities on Sustainability, a new initiative of the TUM-IAS in partnership with universities across Central, Eastern, and Southeastern Europe.
