Dr. Konstantin Glebov is a Lecturer in Clinical Neuroscience at the University of Plymouth. His team’s research focuses on the interaction between nerve cells and their support cells, called glia. They are exploring whether the normal protective role of glia can be harnessed to protect nerve cells from damage in Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia. In this talk, he will introduce what glial cells are, and discuss how this area of research can be a major step in understanding and overcoming Alzheimer’s disease.
