SUMMARY: Cell Biology & Physiology | 2024 Erlanger-Gasser Lecture
DESCRIPTION: “Mitochondrial Dynamics for mRNA Transport and Neuronal Surviv
 al” The Schwarz Lab works at the intersection of neuroscience and cell biol
 ogy. In the last decade\, the mechanisms of axonal transport and the dynami
 cs of mitochondria have become primary areas of interest and combine fundam
 ental cell biology with insight into the etiology and treatment of neurodeg
 enerative disorders. […]

 p><p>The Schwarz Lab works at the intersection of neuroscience and cell bio
 logy. In the last decade\, the mechanisms of axonal transport and the dynam
 ics of mitochondria have become primary areas of interest and combine funda
 mental cell biology with insight into the etiology and treatment of neurode
 generative disorders. Our approach has been to use whatever system is most 
 pertinent to the scientific question\, from Drosophila genetics to rodent n
 eurons\, to patient-derived iPSCs. We combine advanced imaging methods\, mo
 lecular biology\, genetics\, and pharmacology to reach our goal of a mechan
 istic understanding. One current focus is on neurodegenerative mechanisms a
 nd\, in particular\, how defects in mitochondrial transport and clearance c
 ontribute to neuropathology in Parkinson’s Disease and ALS. These studies c
 omplement our other projects on synapse formation and the cell biological p
 rocesses that allow a growth cone to transform into a functional synaptic b
 outon.</p><h5><strong>* Reception Following Lecture\, FLTC\, 2nd Floor\, He
