ADRC Distinguished Speaker Series

Guest Speaker: Russell Swerdlow, MD
“Mitochondria and Mitochondrial Cascades in Alzheimer’s Disease​”

Monday, October 5th, 2020 4-5 pm PST

Professor of Neurology, Molecular and Integrative Physiology, and Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Director, University of Kansas ADC

Russell Swerdlow, M.D., is the Director of the University of Kansas Alzheimer’s Disease Center and the University of Kansas Medical Center Neurodegenerative Disorders Program. Dr. Swerdlow is a professor in the Departments of Neurology, Molecular and Integrative Physiology, and Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Kansas School of Medicine. After receiving his undergraduate and doctor of medicine degrees from New York University, he trained as a neurologist and cognitive disorders subspecialist at the University of Virginia.

In addition to his clinical side, Dr. Swerdlow is a laboratory-based neuroscientist who is internationally known for his work on mitochondrial dysfunction in neurodegenerative diseases. Dr. Swerdlow’s laboratory is currently studying the interaction between genes and cell energy metabolism, the molecular consequences of altered cell energy metabolism, and strategies for repairing defective energy metabolism.
