The Department of Surgery will host the 11th Annual Resident Research Day on Thursday, April 18, 2024, in the Memorial Learning Center Auditorium. This year’s visiting professor is Vibhor Krishna, MD, Associate Professor of Functional Neurosurgery at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine. Dr. Krishna has a special interest in translational neuroimaging research. His research aims to enhance neuromodulation’s effectiveness through personalized medicine, to develop and optimize less-invasive neurosurgery, and to test emerging surgical treatments in clinical trials. This will be

A collaboration between neuroscience and engineering will explore a novel approach in reducing formation of plaques commonly found in those with Alzheimer’s. Kevin Hascup, PhD, of the Smith Alzheimer’s Center at SIU Medicine, and Chilman Bae, PhD, of Southern Illinois University Carbondale were awarded an SIU System Collaborative Grant to investigate how a cellular pathway called Piezo channels could be key in helping unlock better treatments for Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. Piezo channels are located throughout the body and are like gates in our cells that open up when we feel
