"Life in the Fast Lane: Regulation of Fast Axonal Transport and Neurodegeneration," Scott Brady, School of Medicine, University of Illinois. A research poster session and lunch begin at 11:15 a.m.

Brady is a world leader in the study of axonal transport and molecular motors. His recent research in the area of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Huntington's, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease; amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and diabetic neuropathy; focuses on molecular motors, regulation of axonal transport and the neuronal cytoskeleton. These studies have illuminated the relationship between motors, neuronal signaling pathways and pathogenic mechanisms.
