Translational Medicine & Physiology and Sleep & Performance Research Center Seminar Series

November 9, 2022 at 12:00 pm1:00 pm PST

Jennifer C. Felger, PhD, will be giving the Sleep and Performance Research Center’s Seminar entitled “The impact of inflammation on motivation and motor activity in depression: biomarkers, neurotransmitter mechanisms, and therapeutic targets.”

November 9

Noon – 1:00 p.m.

SAC 345 or Zoom

Felger is an Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Emory University School of Medicine. Her work combines basic and clinical approaches to understand the mechanisms by which inflammation affects neurotransmitters and circuits to cause depressive symptoms in patients with psychiatric or medical illnesses.

Her current work is focused on testing novel dopaminergic and anti-inflammatory therapies that might reverse the effects of inflammation on corticostriatal reward and motor circuits with the overarching goal of identifying treatments that can be targeted to patients with high inflammation.

We look forward to seeing you in person or through Zoom.

Meeting ID: 923 1831 0684
