Speaker<\/strong>
\nSergio Hidalgo S., PhD
\nWSU Deptartment of Integrative Physiology and Neuroscience<\/p>\n

Dr. Hidalgo received his PhD in Cellular and Molecular Biology from Pontifical Catholic University (Chile) in 2020. He also obtained a Ph.D. in Physiology and Pharmacology from the University of Bristol (UK) in 2020 as part of a dual degree. In 2020, he joined Dr. Joanna Chiu at the University of California, Davis, as a postdoctoral fellow to investigate the role of the circadian clock in seasonal physiology. His lab studies the effect of changing seasons on brain structure and function, from molecules to physiology and behavior. To do this, his lab uses the fly, Drosophila melanogaster, as an animal model. His lab aims to understand how these brain changes occur, how environmental signals are integrated to trigger these changes, and how dysregulation of this process contributes to diseases, such as Parkinson\u2019s, Alzheimer\u2019s, and schizophrenia, among other topics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
