The Office of Grants and Research Services, the Office of Government Relations, and the Institute of NeuroImmune Pharmacology will be hosting Dr. Antonio Noronha, the Director of the Division of Neuroscience and Behavior at the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. Dr. Noronha’s talk is entitled “Neuroscience, Genetics & Behavioral Research at NIAAA: Research Priorities and Future Directions.”

His research interests include alcohol and the brain; alcohol–induced behavioral effects; neurodegenerative disorders, such as multiple sclerosis; peripheral neuropathies; and alcohol–related damage to the fetus. He has conducted research on the biochemistry of myelin–associated glycoprotein, and on the role of cell adhesion molecules and other glycoconjugates in demyelinating disorders and Fetal Alcohol Exposure effects on the brain. Dr. Noronha has a Ph.D. in Neuroscience from the Stritch School of Medicine, Loyola University, Chicago.
