Looking for Memory Outside the Brain: a special virtual event hosted by UCLA Department of Integrative Biology and Physiology

Memory is commonly associated with brain activity, but recent evidence indicates that memory can be expressed by single cells, inherited, and possibly encoded by molecules. The following speakers will offer fresh perspectives on memory based on new research from their labs: 

David L. Glanzman, Ph.D.

Vannevar Bush Distinguished Professor, Biology

Director, Allen Discovery Center at Tufts University

Associate Faculty, Wyss Institute, Harvard University

Coleen T. Murphy, Ph.D.

James A. Elkins, Jr. Professor in the Life Sciences

Professor, Molecular Biology and the Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics

Director, Paul F. Glenn Laboratories for Aging Research, Princeton University

Director, Simons Foundation’s Collaboration on Plasticity and the Aging Brain

Introduction by Rachelle H. Crosbie, Ph.D., Chair and Professor of UCLA Integrative Biology and Physiology; Professor, Neurology, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA

Following the presentations, attendees will be invited to ask questions of the speakers during a moderated Q&A.
