Hosted by: Faculty of Science
The Faculty of Science welcomes Associate Professor and Canada Research Chair in Quantum Neurobiology, Dr. Travis Craddock to our continuing New Faculty Lecture Series.
Diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson’s disease (PD) are among the most serious health problems facing society today. They affect upwards of 700,000 Canadians costing the economy $11.6 billion annually. This is projected to double by 2030.
Dr. Craddock’s expertise is in the emerging field of Quantum Biology, the study of biological processes and biochemistry at the quantum level. Quantum biology continues to evolve as it is increasingly possible to explore the underlying mechanisms of biological systems at the subatomic level.
During the lecture, Dr. Craddock will discuss field of quantum biology in general, the current state of quantum neurobiology, and how these approaches may be applied to the brain to develop new approaches to diagnosing and treating illnesses specifically with a neuroinflammatory component.
