Fellowships: Neurodegeneration and Aging – F03C
The F03C study section reviews fellowship applications on the basic cellular and molecular biology and preclinical aspects of neurodegeneration and age-related neurodegenerative diseases. Applications examining the molecular and cellular processes leading to cell death, as well as the consequences of exposure to neurotoxicants are also reviewed in F03C. F03C predominantly reviews studies utilizing in vitro and animal models.
The List of Reviewers lists all present, whether standing members or temporary, to provide the full scope of expertise present on that date. Lists are posted 30 days before the meeting and are tentative, pending any last minute changes.
Review Dates
Topics
- Alzheimer’s Disease when the focus is on molecular and cellular mechanisms of neurodegeneration in preclinical models
- Parkinson’s, Huntington’s and other motor diseases (e.g., ataxias and dystonia) when the focus is molecular and cellular mechanisms primarily in preclinical models
- Molecular mechanisms of cerebral hypoxia and ischemic stroke and their impact on neural pathways
- Molecular mechanisms of cell death and neurodegeneration, including programmed cell death, autophagy and apoptosis in the nervous system
- Mechanisms underlying cellular and cognitive aging
- Mild cognitive dementia, vascular dementia, and frontotemporal dementia when the focus is on molecular mechanisms.
- Neurotoxicology and Neuroteratology, including effects and mechanisms of environmental toxicants, metals, pesticides, etc., on the nervous system
