S8079: Prions: When the Brain Goes Rogue in Splash Fall 2024 (Nov. 16 - 17, 2024)
Ever heard of Mad Cow Disease? Kuru? Prion Diseases are rare, incurable, and almost entirely fatal. Starting with a misfolded protein that goes rogue and induces misfolding in other proteins, PD wreaks havoc on the nervous system of humans and animals. This course is a beginner-friendly look into the biochemistry of Prion Disease and its implications for health. Familiarity with basic chemistry/biology is useful, but not required.
