Sep 25 Image Molecular and Circuit Mechanisms of Protein-Specific Appetite 11 a.m. – Noon, Sept. 25, 2026 Since establishing her independent research program at the University of California, San Francisco in 2019, Dr. Liu has employed multidisciplinary approaches including large-scale genetic and behavioral analyses, immunohistochemistry, functional imaging, and patchclamp electrophysiology to investigate the organization and modulation of nutrient-specific appetites.
Oct 02 Physiological Sciences Student Forum 11 a.m. – Noon, Oct. 2, 2026 The University of Arizona's Physiological Sciences GIDP presents Rachel Battershell and Dayannara Munoz as part of the Physiological Sciences Student Forum.
Oct 09 Image Neurobiological and Metabolic Mechanisms of Age-Related Cognitive Decline 11 a.m. – Noon, Oct. 9, 2026 Since establishing her independent research program at the University of Florida in 2013, Dr. Sara Burke has focused on systems-level mechanisms of cognitive aging, particularly interactions among the hippocampus, prefrontal cortex, and perirhinal cortex. Her research incorporates multidisciplinary approaches, including behavioral neuroscience, in vivo electrophysiology, molecular and metabolic analyses, neuroimaging, and cross-species models.
Oct 16 Image Using multi-omics approach to study gene-environment interactions in cardiometabolic disease 11 a.m. – Noon, Oct. 16, 2026 Currently, Dr. Li leads multiple NIH-funded, multi-institutional studies within the Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort (CRIC) and Trans-Omics for Precision Medicine (TOPMed) programs. His recent research examines environmental determinants of APOL1-associated CKD progression, mitochondrial DNA abnormalities in kidney disease, and molecular mechanisms linking kidney dysfunction with cognitive decline.
