Breakfast Club Seminar
"Faulty Sensory Signaling in Chemotherapy Induced Neuropathy"

Tim Cope's research program focuses on the propriosensory control of movement by neural circuits in the mammalian spinal cord. The studies examine the biophysical properties and signal encoding of spinal motoneurons, primary sensory neurons, and their central synapses, in relation to kinematic measurements taken from behaving animals. His team is actively engaged in preclinical translational studies (using rodent models) of sensorimotor disorders following nerve injury, regeneration, and chemotherapy-induced neuropathy.
The IBB Breakfast Club Seminar Series was started with the spirit of the Institute's interdisciplinary mission in mind to feature local IBB faculty member's research in a seminar format. Faculty are often asked to speak at other universities and conferences, but do not often present at their home institution - this seminar series is an attempt to close that gap. IBB Breakfast Club Seminars are open to anyone in the bio-community.
