Dr. Thomas Südhof, one of the recipients for the 2013 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, accepted the Rev. Carrier Medal at the University of Notre Dame on October 23.
His lecture, “Toward a Cell Biology of Alzheimer’s Disease,” describes his laboratory’s recent studies that illustrate how investigations into the cell biology of neurons and glia have the potential to provide insight into the molecular mechanisms of Alzheimer’s disease, and might lead to better therapies.
The Rev. Joseph Carrier C.S.C. Science Medal is the most prestigious award presented by the College of Science, and is given for sustained, outstanding achievements in any field of science. It is awarded annually, alternating between the mathematical, physical, chemical, and biological sciences.
