Join this 55-minute talk from the Broad Discovery Series x BroadIgnite event where neurobiologist Ralda Nehme and chemical biologist Shiwei Wang explore the fascinating world of brain cell communication. Learn about new laboratory techniques for investigating how brain cells share information, and discover how sugar-based messaging systems function in the brain and their significance in neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's disease. The speakers discuss how breakdowns in cellular communication channels contribute to various conditions including schizophrenia. This special collaborative event connects philanthropists with early-career researchers working on high-risk, potentially high-reward projects at the Broad Institute's Stanley Center for Psychiatric Research and Infectious Disease and Microbiome Program.
