Venue: The Oratory, Newman College
Presenters: Professor Joe Beckman
Exciting progress has been made in the past year in treating ALS (Motor Neuron Disease) and the underlying basis shows how the body’s own defense systems can amplify most diseases from arthritis to heart disease and neurodegeneration. In this presentation, Professor Beckman will discuss how oxidants cause human disease, in particular, motor neuron disease, also known as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis or Lou Gehrig’s disease.
Professor Joe Beckman is the Principal Investigator and Burgess and Elizabeth Jamieson Chair in Healthspan Research, Linus Pauling Institute, at Oregon State University.
