On April 30, 2021, University of Texas San Antonio neuroscientists sat down with Sergio Ferreira (Federal University of Rio de Janeiro) to discuss Alzheimer's Disease as a pathology of proteostasis.  Hyoung-gon Lee, Chris Gamblin and Salma Quraishi chatted with him about how he is targeting protein synthesis to rescue defective synaptic plasticity and restore memory performance in a specific amyloid model of Alzheimer's.

Dr. Ferreira is Professor of Biochemistry & Neuroscience in the Center for Health Sciences at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro.
