Neuroscience & Non-Communicable Diseases Seminar Series
Speaker: Dr Sarah Gordon, Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health, VIC
Dr Sarah Gordon was awarded her PhD from the University of Newcastle in 2009. She undertook postdoctoral studies at the University of Edinburgh in the lab of Prof Mike Cousin, where she defined the function of the integral synaptic vesicle (SV) protein synaptophysin. She went on to determine the pathological roles of synaptophysin, and another key SV protein, synaptotagmin, in intellectual disability.
