SUMMARY:"Science TALK over the counter" led by faculty PI Meytal Landau - "
 Bacteria\, Alzheimer's\, and particle accelerators" [No Categories]
DESCRIPTION:Location: Sleek Bar HAIFA  Meytal Landau\n Affiliation: \n Host
 :\n During December\, the faculty will hold a series of "Science TALKS ove
 r the counter" led by faculty PI in selected locations throughout Haifa an
 d the north district. We are thrilled to invite you all to the first lectu
 re in the series: "Bacteria\, Alzheimer's\, and particle accelerators".\n\
 nWhen? Sunday\, 11.12 at 21:00 . Opening Doors: 19:00\, Beginning of Lectu
 re: 21:00\nWhere? Slick Bar\, 124 Hanasi street\, HAIFA\n*The lecture is f
 ree of charge and open to the general public.\n*To hold a spot\, you must 
 register for the lecture in advance via the link :https://forms.gle/YZE9wZ
 bzxN65zpnL9\nAbout the lecture:\n How is the "urgent threat" of antibio
 tic-resistant super bacteria related to drug development?\n Does a bact
 erium disguise itself as infected meat and cause "mad cow" style diseases?
 \n What is all of this having to do with particle accelerators and how 
 do they help us decipher a connection between apparently unrelated disease
 s?\n\nThe lecture will discuss drug development in the past\, present\, an
 d future. We will describe the role of proteins as pathogens and also as a
  therapeutic measure. How we use particle accelerators (synchrotrons) to u
 nderstand proteins and use the information to develop drugs and materials 
 for biotechnological uses.\n\nWe will learn for the first time about prote
 ins that create "super fibers" (strong and durable fibers) called amyloids
  which are produced by bacteria\, viruses\, and fungi and cause severe inf
 ectious diseases. Amyloids are proteins that are known mainly due to their
  connection to neurodegenerative diseases\, and we will deal with the ques
 tion of whether there is a connection between infectious diseases and Alzh
 eimer’s\, Parkinson's\, and mad cow disease.
