Join us for a free Zoom lunchtime lecture, “Microglia: How the Brain’s Immune Cells Shape Brain Health Throughout the Lifespan,” presented by Dr. Lindsay DeBaise, Ph.D. This engaging session will explore the vital role microglia play in maintaining overall brain health. In early life, these specialized immune cells help regulate brain development, while later in life, their dysfunction has been linked to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, as well as various mental health disorders. Dr. DeBaise will break down the science behind these powerful cells and explain why they are so critical across every stage of life.
The lecture will take place on March 11, 2026, beginning at 12:15 PM CT, followed by a live Q&A at 12:35 PM CT. This is a free event open to anyone interested in brain health, neuroscience, and the latest research on aging and disease. To reserve your spot, please register using the link below:
