SUMMARY:Sex Differences in Ischemic Stroke and the Impact of Menopause
DESCRIPTION:\nSeminar Title: Sex Differences in Ischemic Stroke and the 
 Impact of Menopause\nPresenter: Dr. Farida Sohrabji\, Professor\, Depart
 ment of Neuroscience and Experimental Therapeutics\n\nDr. Sohrabji's resea
 rch program focuses on brain-immune interactions regulated by estrogen and
  its implications for neuro-inflammatory diseases such as stroke in women.
  Additionally\, she is also interested in estrogen's interactions with ot
 her endogenous and environmental endocrine mediators\, including Vitamin D
  hormone and the peptide hormone Insulin-like Growth Factor (IGF)-1. Her 
 current studies use an animal model to examine age and sex differences in 
 recovery from stroke\, focusing at the cellular level on the endothelium a
 nd astrocytes\, which are the principal components of the blood brain barr
 ier. At the molecular level\, her team is examining sex and age differenc
 es in miRNA and epigenetic markers\, with a view to developing biomarkers 
 for diseases and uncovering new therapeutic targets.\n\n&nbsp\;
