NSU Institute for Neuro-Immune Medicine Hosts Monthly Seminars, May 5
The INIM, an affiliate of NSU College Osteopathic Medicine, is pleased to host Travis Craddock, Ph.D.—assistant professor in the NSU College of Psychology’s Department of Psychology and Neuroscience and associate director of the NSU Institute for Neuro-Immune Medicine’s Clinical Systems Biology Group—at the monthly INIM Research Seminar Series on Friday, May 5, 2017 from 12:00–1:30 p.m. at the Center for Collaborative Research on the 4th floor, room 440.
As assistant professor of psychology and neuroscience, computer science, and clinical Immunology, Craddock applies systems biology and biophysics methods towards the purpose of identifying novel treatments for complex chronic illness involving neuroinflammation.
Travis Craddock, Ph.D.
Craddock received his B.Sc. in co-op physics from the University of Guelph and went on to finish a M.Sc. and Ph.D. in the field of biophysics at the University of Alberta under the supervision of Jack Tuszynski, Ph.D. Craddock’s graduate research focused on subneural biomolecular information processing, and nanoscale neuroscience descriptions of memory, consciousness and cognitive dysfunction in neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease.
His postdoctoral work was conducted under the supervision of Gordon Broderick, Ph.D., in the Broderick Laboratory for Clinical Systems Biology in the Department of Medicine, Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry at the University of Alberta. This work has focused on using a theory driven systems biology approach to investigate neuroendocrine-immune interaction dynamics in neuroinflammation and its relation to complex diseases such as Gulf War Illness, and chronic fatigue syndrome. This work was funded by the U.S. Department of Defense.
Join us as he lectures on Effects of Oxidative Stress on Microtubules and its Role in Tauopathic Disease,” You won’t want to miss it!
