APRIL 23 – HD RESEARCH WEBINAR
Date: Thursday, April 23
Time: 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. ET
Speaker: Dr. Adam G. Hendricks, Ph.D., McGill University
Topic: Spotlight on Research: Dr. Adam Hendricks
Join us for an engaging research spotlight featuring Adam Hendricks, who will share insights from his latest work exploring the normal functions of the huntingtin protein in healthy cells. This presentation will highlight two key areas of study: how huntingtin helps move materials around inside cells, and how huntingtin interacts with RNA, including how flexible regions of the protein affect the way it clumps together or separates inside the cell. By deepening our understanding of huntingtin’s normal roles, this research helps shed light on what may go wrong in Huntington disease and why these changes can be harmful to brain cells.
*This webinar will be recorded. If you wish to access the recording, please register, even if you cannot attend.
