Vicky Yao
Vicky Yao, PhD X-twitter Google There has been considerable progress in our understanding of genetics since the sequencing of the first human genome in the early 2000s. Sequencing and genomic measurement technologies continue to advance, yielding more and more high resolution snapshots of experimental and clinical states. The bottleneck now lies in cleaning, interpreting, and
Tara Tracy
Tara Tracy, PhD X-twitter Synapses are specialized structures that are critical for the transmission of information between neurons in the brain. Fine-tuning of the electrochemical activity at synapses underlies cognitive processes. In Alzheimer’s disease, memory loss coincides with synapse deterioration. The Tracy lab is investigating the molecular events that lead to synapse dysfunction and cognitive
