“Neuroinflammation causes neuronal dysfunction by destabilizing excitatory synapses” and “Antigen-specific T cells in autoimmune inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system”
The Anne Klibanski Visiting Lecture Series was created to support and advance the careers of women. These lectures bring together faculty from institutions that have hosted Anne Klibanski Scholars with MGH scholars, on topics that overlap both research areas.
Dr. Gillani presented on “Neuroinflammation causes neuronal dysfunction by destabilizing excitatory synapses.”
Dr. Hastermann presented on “Antigen-specific T cells in autoimmune inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system.”
Presenters:
Rebecca L. Gillani, MD, PhD, Instructor, Neurology, MGH/HMS
Maria Hastermann, MD, PhD, Max Delbrück Center, Berlin
Learning Objectives for Dr. Gillani’s talk:
Upon completion of this activity, participants were able to:
Understand the contribution of neuronal dysfunction to neurologic disability in people living with multiple sclerosis. Recognize the scope of synaptic dysfunction in people living with multiple sclerosis. Identify potential mechanisms for neuronal dysfunction due to neuroinflammation. Learning Objectives for Dr. Hastermann’ talk:
Upon completion of this activity, participants were able to:
Describe neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD). Recognize the role of T cells in central nervous system (CNS) inflammation. Review the longitudinal prospective registry study (example BERLimmun). Click here to watch webinar.
