Jungers Center for Neurosciences Research Annual Symposia 2026 brings together eight speakers - four faculty at other institutions and four previous post-docs who graduated from OHSU. This year, the center, which is a collaborative effort of the Department of Neurology and the Vollum Institute, is also celebrating its 20th anniversary.
The OHSU community is encouraged to attend and hear from these speakers:
Lindsay De Biase, Ph.D.
UCLA
"Neuroprotective and Neurotoxic Features of Microglia in the Aging Brain"
Maria Purice, Ph.D.
Oregon State University
"Glial Neuropeptide Signaling Without the Canonical Secretory Machinery"
Michael Henderson, Ph.D.
Van Andel Institute
"From Networks to Neurons: Identifying Routes to Resilience in Parkinson's Disease"
Allison Schaser, Ph.D., CCC-SLP
Purdue University
"Exploring Age- and Parkinson’s-Dependent Deficits in the Cranial Sensorimotor System"
Marvin Bentley, Ph.D.
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
"Title to come."
Fumito Ichinose, Ph.D.
Massachusetts General Hospital
"Harnessing Hypoxia as a Therapy for Parkinson’s Disease."
Ozama Ismail, Ph.D.
Alzheimer's Association
"Title to come."
Mariko Bennett, Ph.D.
Children's Hospital of Philadelphia
"Title to come."
A generous gift from Frank and Julie Jungers and Gary and Mariellen Jungers made the Jungers Center possible. Established in 2006, the Center has broad goals to enhance understanding of neurological diseases with a focus on neurodegeneration and neuroregeneration through research in Center laboratories and training programs in disease-oriented neuroscience research.
