Graduate Seminar - Microbiome interactions with the central nervous system
Dr. Helen Vuong is Assistant Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Minnesota. Dr. Vuong's research lab focuses on dissecting the role of the microbiome in the development of neural circuits and behaviors in health and neurodevelopmental disorders. They use interdisciplinary approaches to identify and characterize the mechanisms of interaction between microbes and host neural cells. They use a longitudinal approach to track and investigate direct and long-term effects of microbially-derived molecules on brain development in utero and early postnatal life, and adult neural circuits. They aim to leverage the microbiome for diagnoses and therapeutic potential in neurodevelopmental disorders.
Seminar will take place 11:30am - 12:20pm via Zoom.
