"A Human Model for Histiocytosis Associated Neurodegeneration" with Nicole Coufal, MD, PhD | SFG CrossLab

Wednesday, September 24, 3:00pm - 4:00pm (EDT)

Time shown in-04:00 America, New York

Nicole G. Coufal is an associate professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) School of Medicine. She received her M.D., Ph.D. from UCSD in 2011 and completed her pediatric residency and fellowship in pediatric critical care at UCSD and Rady Children’s Hospital. She joined the faculty in 2017 after completing a postdoctoral fellowship with Fred Gage at the Salk Institute.

The goal of the Coufal laboratory is to understand how microglia, the resident innate immune cell of the brain, impact human brain development and maturation. By utilizing a combination of primary human microglia together with human stem cell-derived microglial models, the Coufal lab aims to delineate how microglial dysfunction contributes to the pathogenesis of rare and common neurodevelopmental and pediatric neurodegenerative disorders.
