2018 Translational Medicine Symposium
October 26, 2018 @ 12:00 pm - 5:00 pm
When: Friday, Oct. 26, Starts at noon
Where: WSU Health Sciences Spokane Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Sciences Building
Price: Free!
WSU Spokane is hosting the Translational Medicine Symposium to illustrate ways in which research findings can potentially be put into practice to improve human health. The event connects scientists, entrepreneurs, physicians, patients and health care providers in one room and presents an opportunity to learn from each other. Physicians typically rely on the researchers and entrepreneurs for new ways of practicing medicine, and the patients will get to hear about new ways of treating disease.
The focus for this event will be on:
- Clinical trials research and operation
- Clinical trials data analysis and bioinformatics
With support of the Robert F. E. Stier Memorial Lecture in Medicine, this year’s presentation by Larry Sherman, Ph.D., is titled Targeting the extracellular matrix to reverse neurodegeneration.
It’s an event that will bring everybody out from their specific areas and into one room to network and work together to grow in our understanding of science and medicine.
A pre-symposium event is scheduled on Oct. 25: Every Brain Needs Music. Registration is required. Sherman, a musical neuroscientist at the Oregon Health and Science University in Portland, Ore., will provide insights into some of the most exciting brain research in recent years – the connection between music, brain development and the ways music can prevent or delay brain aging and help patients with damage to the brain. In this multi-media experience, Sherman mixes musical performances, humor and neuroscience to reveal the amazing connection between music and human brain function.
