Jill R. Turner
Jill R. Turner, PhD Linkedin Twitter Google Dr. Jill Turner has investigated nicotinic receptors since 2002, as a graduate student with Dr. Kenneth Kellar at Georgetown University. After graduating, Jill continued her training as a post-doctoral fellow with Dr. Julie Blendy at the University of Pennsylvania. Her main interest lies in how nicotinic receptors can
Andy Shih
Andy Shih, PhD Linkedin Twitter Google Dr. Shih’s research focuses on the small blood vessels that deliver oxygen and nutrients to all reaches of the brain. In the human brain, an estimated 400 miles of blood vessels deliver blood to 100 billion neurons. This immensely complex task can easily go awry during human disease. When

Raj Towfique
Towfique Raj, PhD Linkedin Twitter Google Research in our laboratory focuses on mechanisms underlying the regulation of gene expression and how these mechanisms are disrupted in neurodegenerative diseases. We use high-throughput functional genomics and genetic association studies to identify regions of the genome with functional effects on tissues and cells of the brain. We apply
Natura Myeku
Natura Myeku, PhD Linkedin Twitter Google Doctor Myeku’s lab has a long-standing interest in understanding the mechanism of deficient protein quality control in tauopathy disorders that have a common feature – accumulation of pathological tau. In particular, we are interested in studying the ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS), which is the principal pathway for protein turnover
