Inhibition of Mitophagy via Loss of Ataxia Gene Vps13D in Drosophila Neurons
A MAPS X Neuroscience Collaborated Event
About the NIC
The Neuroscience Interdisciplinary Council at Eastern Michigan University (NIC at EMU) is a student-run academic organization whose primary goal is to raise awareness for EMU's Interdisciplinary Neuroscience Major! It is the goal of the NIC to not only provide Learning Beyond the Classroom (LBC) experiences in the form of interactive guest speakers and hands-on brain dissections, but to also instill a passion for neuroscience as an exciting, emerging field.
About The Speaker
Meet Ryan Insolera, a Post-Doctoral Fellow (PDF) at the University of Michigan's very own Collins Lab of Molecular Cellular and Developmental Biology (MCDB.) As a UMich undergraduate and Cornell PhD in Neuroscience, Insolera is no stranger to the game. His interests and research led him to the Collins Lab, which is deeply centered on the genetics and morphology of the common fruitfly. Insolera is currently pursuing the developmental biology and genetics of D. melanogaster, as a means of using fruit-flies as a model organism to better understand human pathology.

A MAPS X Neuroscience Lecture
Tuesday, November 27th, 2018
Strong Science Language Use is Frequent
This is a fairly review- based presentation of post-graduate level research. A basic understanding of cellular biology and genetics is to the listener's benefit.
Pushing the Boundaries of Dialogue.
MAPS X centers and prides itself around discussions of inclusion, social justice, and equal treatment of all individuals, regardless of demographics or beliefs. Start a dialogue that may overturn your preconceived notions, or unconscious biases.
Objectives of MAPS X
MAPS X is an inclusive conversation open to all.
Come on, come all
All Majors Welcome!
MAPS takes pride in establishing an environment free of judgment and built on tolerance that leads to more fruitful discussions.
Foster a Worldview.
A New Perspective.
Consider the beliefs, culture, and values of other groups and peoples. Come prepared to answer questions in addition to asking them!
Empathize and Empower
Broadening Horizons.
Entertain new ideas and grapple difficult questions. Participants can expect to dialogue with the audience in addition to the guest of honor.
