Join us for a lecture with Robert Marr, PhD, Associate Professor of Neuroscience and Assistant Dean for Research, Rosalind Franklin University. The overlying area of Dr. Marr’s interests lay in the study of neurodegenerative diseases. More specifically his focus is on Alzheimer’s disease and the use of gene transfer vectors as a tool to investigate specific gene function(s) in the brain as it relates to Alzheimer’s.
