Sign up for Speaker Meet-ups
Engagement with our seminar speakers extends beyond the lecture. On seminar days, invited speakers meet one-on-one with faculty members, have lunch with a small group of trainees, and enjoy dinner with a small group of faculty and the speaker's host.

Eric M. Shooter Lecture
Dr. Eric M. Shooter was an emeritus professor of neurobiology at Stanford University's School of Medicine, the inaugural chair of the Neurobiology department, and a valuable mentor to the community. Renowned globally for his contributions to neurobiology, Shooter's research focused on the structure and function of neurotrophins, essential proteins for the survival of nerve cells. His work could lead to nerve regeneration in individuals with spinal cord injuries and help combat neurodegenerative diseases. Despite his passing in 2018, his positive impact on the neurobiology field and the neuroscience community of Stanford continues on.
In 2007, the annual Shooter lecture, co-hosted by Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute and Department of Neurobiology, was established to continue Shooter's legacy of nurturing Stanford's neurobiology community. Integrated into the Wu Tsai Neuro Seminar Series, these annual Shooter lectures particularly focus on neurobiology topics. This year marks the 18th Annual Shooter lecture.
About the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Seminar Series
The Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute seminar series brings together the Stanford neuroscience community to discuss cutting-edge, cross-disciplinary brain research, from biochemistry to behavior and beyond.
Topics include new discoveries in fundamental neurobiology; advances in human and translational neuroscience; insights from computational and theoretical neuroscience; and the development of novel research technologies and neuro-engineering breakthroughs.
Unless otherwise noted, seminars are held Thursdays at 12:00 noon PT.
