This webinar, hosted with the Office of Neural Exposome and Toxicology (ONETOX), will describe a new area of research on the Neural Exposome at NINDS. The neural exposome refers to the non-heritable factors affecting the nervous system including environmental/chemical exposures, the microbiome, and socio-behavioral stress. We will spotlight Erica Glasper, PhD, an NINDS funded investigator, who will provide a summary of her exciting research. Investigators looking to form collaborative interdisciplinary research projects, trainees and early career faculty are strongly encouraged to attend.

Speakers for this webinar include:

  • David A Jett, PhD: Director in the NINDS Office of Neural Exposome and Toxicology (ONETOX)
  • Erica Glasper, PhD: Associate Professor at the Ohio State University Department of Neuroscience
