I was fortunate to be invited to the 2020 Charleston Conference on Alzheimer’s disease, at a time when I was struggling to try to get my Alzheimer’s disease research off the ground. I am by nature more of a method developer than a biologist; my PhD was centered on understanding the basic mechanisms of how

The National Institutes of Health (NIH), a part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is the nation’s medical research agency — making important discoveries that improve health and save lives. Here’s the NIH grants that were awarded to CCAD Alumni.
Miranda Good, PhD Linkedin X-twitter Miranda Good completed her PhD in Physiological Sciences at the University of Arizona. Her graduate research in Dr. Janis Burt’s Lab focused on the role of vascular connexins, Cx37 and Cx40, in regulation of proliferation and inflammation. As a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Virginia Robert M. Berne Cardiovascular
Maj-Linda B. Selenica, PhD Linkedin Facebook Currently Dr. Selenica lab’s research is focused on molecular pathways and therapeutic approaches toward neurodegenerative disease; especially Alzheimer’s Disease and related dementias. They have established an impressive tool kit of molecular biology tool, cellular models, antibodies etc to study the impact of post-translational modifications involved in tau and TDP-43

Gustavo A Rodriguez, PhD Linkedin Google My research is focused on understanding how neuronal populations in the entorhinal cortex (EC) and hippocampus (HIPP) are affected by amyloid-beta (Aβ) and tau pathology, which are hallmark features of Alzheimer’s disease. I employ optogenetics / chemogenetics and in vivo electrophysiology in my research, and am interested in how neuronal modulation

Rodney Ritzel, PhD Google Dr. Ritzel conducted his graduate studies in the Department of Neuroscience at the University of Connecticut Health Center and obtained his PhD in 2016. He then pursued postdoctoral training at the Shock, Trauma and Anesthesiology Research Center at the University of Maryland School of Medicine in Baltimore, where he studied neuroimmune
Ke Zhang, PhD The Cellular Stress in Neurodegeneration Laboratory of Ke Zhang, Ph.D., uses the power of genetics, biochemistry, cell biology and neuroscience to understand the cellular and molecular basis of neurodegeneration and to develop therapeutic approaches. His laboratory focuses on two major questions: How do different pathophysiological defects interconnect to drive pathogenesis in neurodegeneration?
