Thomas Coate: “Mechanisms of SGN wiring and firing during ribbon synapse development”
Angela Ballesteros: “Exploring the Functional Implications of the Structural Relationship Between TMC1 and TMEM16 proteins”
Maria Rubio: “Molecular Structure of Auditory Nerve Synapses in the Normal Hearing and in the Hearing Impaired”
Hosted jointly by Washington University School of Medicine and the Collaborative Research Center of the University Medical Center Goettingen.
2021 Ribbon Synapses Seminar Series
Join us for a unique seminar series to learn more about the specialized sensory synapses that afford unique signal processing abilities to the auditory and visual systems.
The Ribbon Synapses Seminar Series is being held virtually for the first time this year, in lieu of the biannual in-person Ribbon Synapses Symposium held in Goettingen, Germany since 2003.
Session #4 – May 12
10:00 AM CDT
- Thomas Coate (Georgetown University) “Mechanisms of SGN wiring and firing during ribbon synapse development”
11:00 AM CDT
- Angela Ballesteros (National Institutes of Health) “Exploring the Functional Implications of the Structural Relationship Between TMC1 and TMEM16 proteins” (short talk)
11:25 AM CDT
- Maria (Lania) E. Rubio (University of Pittsburgh) “Molecular Structure of Auditory Nerve Synapses in the Normal Hearing and in the Hearing Impaired”
Registration is free – you will receive a username and password to access the zoom links on the RSSS website, and to stream recordings of previous sessions. Applications for short presentations are now being accepted. For more info and a full schedule, please visit the seminar home page. The current schedule of events is listed below.
