His seminar, titled “Genome Stability and the Prevention of Disease in the Nervous System,” will take place Dec. 9, 2010, at 4 p.m. in the Medical Sciences Building auditorium on USA’s main campus.
Dr. McKinnon’s research focuses on understanding the role of the DNA damage response in the nervous system, and how this functions to prevent disease.
Dr. McKinnon received his Ph.D. degree from The Flinders University of South Australia. His research interests include molecular neurobiology, mouse models of human disease, brain tumors, neurodegeneration, and tumor suppressors.
