Saturday STEM Seminar: Dr. Abdulbaki Agbas – Platelets: A Cellular Peephole for Brain Biology

During Science City’s Saturday STEM Seminars, local STEM professionals present hot topics in science, technology, engineering and math, as well as highlights of their education and career paths. A Q&A session follows. The seminars, geared toward students in grades 7-12, are open to the public. Registration is required, but walk-ups are welcome!

Platelets provide useful information about brain biology and biochemistry, which can be utilized for assessing the progress of neurodegenerative diseases. This presentation will serve as a guided tour of platelets; exploring them from the standpoint of simple curiosity to medical discoveries.
