  Webinar - The ALS-Reproducible Antibody Platform (ALS-RAP): Identification of high-quality antibodies for ALS research

  Speaker: Carl Laflamme, Ph.D.
  
  Dr. Laflamme will discuss his published work describing the systematic assessment of antibodies against the C9ORF72 protein as part of ALS-RAP. He will then present intriguing data regarding C9ORF72 biology in macrophages, and will introduce his very exciting and potentially revolutionary efforts to expand the ALS-RAP methodology for antibodies against additional ALS disease proteins as well as those of other neurodegenerative disorders.

  Webinar - COVID-19 and the Brain

  Speaker: Eric Song, Ph.D.
  
  Dr. Eric Song of Yale University will discuss his work that revealed the ability of SARS-CoV-2 to directly infect the mammalian brain (Song et al., J. Exp. Med. 2021). This important study entailed the use of several elegant approaches to demonstrate SARS-CoV-2 infection of both mouse and human brains, with clear implications for the subset of COVID-19 patients experiencing persistent neurological and neuropsychiatric symptoms after resolution of the acute disease. Dr. Song will also provide updates on his current efforts and offer perspectives on future directions of SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 research.
