Morris Endowed Lectureship on Thur sday\, Oct. 22. The event is free and open to the public.\n  \n Aperia\, pro fessor of pediatrics at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm\, Sweden\, i s known for her research on the energy efficiency of the body and its indi vidual cells. Her pediatric cell and molecular biology lab is focused on u nderstanding the many aspects of Na/K ATPase\, which is known as the ion p ump that maintains the electrochemical gradient across the plasma membrane . This enzyme has a central role in all mammalian cells and consumes more than 30 percent of all energy in the body.\n  \n Aperia’s research group has made several pioneering contributions to the understanding of specific fu nction of neuronal Na/K ATPase. She is studying the functional consequence s of disease mutations\, using a variety of imaging and modeling approache s. The Na/K ATPase signal has been shown to play a major role in the prote ction against apoptosis\, or programmed cell death\, in fetal malnourishme nt\, infections with Shiga toxin-producing E. coli and chronic kidney dise ase.\nEvent Webpage: http://webapp2.wright.edu/web1/newsroom/2015/08/28/an ita-aperia-will-present-the-earl-h-morris-endowed-lecture DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20151022T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20151022T233000 LAST-MODIFIED:20150828T164120Z LOCATION:Neuroscience Engineering Collaboration Building Auditorium SUMMARY:Earl Morris Endowed Lecture: “Role of Na/K ATPase in Monogenic Neur onal Disorders and Renal Protection” URL;TYPE=URI:/events/earl-morris-endowed-lecture-%E2% 80%9Crole-nak-atpase-monogenic-neuronal-disorders-renal-protection%E2%80%9 D END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
