T21RS Webinar – Oct 06, 2026

T21RS is pleased to invite you to the free webinar hosted by the Education and Training Committee.

Prof. Stephen Ginsberg, Department of Psychiatry and Department of Neuroscience, NYUGSOM Institute for Translational Neuroscience, New York University Grossman School of Medicine, New York, USA

will present the topic:

“Trials and tribulations of single population transcriptomic analyses in Down syndrome and trisomic models”

The main goal of the Ginsberg laboratory is to understand the molecular and cellular substrates that regulate selective vulnerability of neurons to degeneration. A multidisciplinary approach of state-of-the-art multi-omics approaches, including microaspiration of select neuronal types through laser capture microdissection and single population RNA-sequencing along with protein-protein interaction network-based approaches combined with immunohistochemical and cell biological techniques is utilized as part of the experimental design. Particular emphasis is placed upon analyzing the interactomes of individual neuronal populations as a means of understanding the complex cascade of cellular events that occurs under pathologic conditions such as metabolic syndrome/insulin resistance, aging, the Alzheimer’s disease (AD) spectrum from no cognitive impairment (NCI) to mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to AD, and Down syndrome (DS), as well as employing relevant animal and cellular models of neurodegenerative disorders.
