The Role of Glymphatic Impairment in Alzheimer’s Disease: Sleep, Waste, and Neurodegeneration at the Crossroads of the CNS

• Date: December 5, 2023
• Time: 12:10 – 1:00 p.m.
• Location: SCCRS 250 (or Zoom)

Presented by Washington State University – Sleep and Performance Research Center

Jeffery Iliff, PhD, from the University of Washington’s Department of Neurology, will be visiting WSU Spokane for the SPRC Seminar Series. His seminar entitled “The Role of Glymphatic Impairment in Alzheimer’s Disease: Sleep, Waste, and Neurodegeneration at the Crossroads of the CNS” will be in person in the Spokane Center for Clinical Research and Simulation (SCCRS) room 250 and through Zoom on Tuesday, Dec. 5 from 12:10 – 1:00 p.m.

Iliff was part of the research team that discovered the glymphatic system, the brain’s cleaning system that is active during sleep. His research focuses on identifying the molecular changes that underlie glymphatic system failure with aging and after traumatic brain injury, extending these experimental studies into human subjects and clinical populations with an aim of developing new treatment and prevention strategies for neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.

We look forward to you joining us in person (SCCRS 250) or through Zoom.
