DESCRIPTION:Irene McCulloch Distinguished Lecture in Neuroscience\n\nBart D
 e Strooper’s scientific work focuses on the understanding of the fundamenta
 l mechanisms that underlie Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. His major f
 indings are the role of ADAM10 and presenilin/gamma-secretase in\nthe prote
 olysis of the amyloid precursor protein and Notch\, and he has worked on mi
 croRNA\, mitochondria\, and more recently on the role of the different brai
 n cell types in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s Disease.\n\nHe received his
  M.D. in 1985 and Ph.D. in 1991 from KU Leuven. He worked as postdoctoral r
 esearcher in the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Heidelberg
 \, Germany\, in the laboratory of Carlos Dotti.\n\nIn 2018\, Bart De Stroop
 er\, together with John Hardy\, Christian Haas and Michel Goedert\, was awa
 rded the Brain Prize for their groundbreaking research on the genetic and m
 olecular basis of Alzheimer disease. Other awards include the\nPotamkin Awa
 rd of the American Academy of Neurology in 2002 (USA)\, the 2003 Alois Alzh
 eimer Award of the Deutscher Gesellschaft für Gerontopsychiatrie und psycho
 therapie (Germany)\, the Joseph Maisin Prize in 2005 for fundamental biomed
 ical sciences\, (FWO Flanders\, Belgium)\, the 2008 Metlife Foundation Awar
 d for medical research (USA) and the 2018 European Grand Prix for Research
