Next Week's DSS - Dr. Roger Colbran

The next Distinguished Scientist Seminar at the University of South Alabama College of Medicine will be presented by Dr. Roger J. Colbran, professor of molecular physiology and biophysics at Vanderbilt University.

The lecture, titled "Biodirectional CaMKII Synaptic Signaling Mechanisms," will take place May 10, 2012, at 4 p.m. in the Medical Sciences Building auditorium on USA's main campus.

Dr. Colbran’s research interest focuses on the molecular determinants for synaptic targeting of protein kinases and protein phosphatases in the central nervous system.

Dr. Colbran earned a B.S. degree in biochemistry at the University of Bristol and a Ph.D. degree in biochemistry at the University of Newcastle.
