Paul Varisco, Team Gleason Executive Director,
Visits LSU Neuroscience Center
Paul Varisco, Executive Director of Team Gleason, visited the Neuroscience Center
of Excellence,
Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center, New Orleans. Team Gleason is a
foundation
established by former New Orleans Saints player, Steve Gleason, to raise public awareness
and
support for research and treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and other
neuromuscular
diseases. While here, Mr. Varisco met with the Director of the Neuroscience Center,
Dr. Nicolas G. Bazan,
and visiting guest, Professor Dr. Pierluigi Nicotera, to discuss contemporary translational
research on ALS.
Dr. Pierluigi Nicotera Delivers Chancellor's Award Lecture,
Signs Collaboration with LSU Neuroscience Center
Dr. Pierluigi Nicotera delivered the Chancellor's Award Lecture May 24, 2013,
at the Neuroscience Center of Excellence, Louisiana State University Health Sciences
Center, New Orleans.
Dr. Joseph Moerschbaecher III, LSUHSC Vice-Chancellor of Academic Affairs and Dean of the School of Graduate Studies, presented Dr. Nicotera the award for his outstanding contributions to the understanding of cell survival signaling in Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative diseases, and in recognition of his leadership in the establishment of the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE) in Bonn, Germany. Dr. Nicotera is the Scientific Director and Chairman of the Executive Board within the Helmholtz Association of the DZNE.
During his visit, Dr. Nicotera, along with Drs. Moerschbaecher and Bazan, signed
an agreement to establish a Collaborative Postdoctoral Training Program on Diseases
of the Nervous System between LSUHSC and the DZNE, with a particular focus on
Alzheimer's disease. The agreement took effect May 24, 2013.
