Brian Gordon, PhD Linkedin Twitter Google My goal as a researcher is to understand the pathophysiology of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). No one measure provides a thorough characterization of the AD disease trajectory. Instead, a multidimensional approach is needed to integrate intersecting measures of biology and cognition. In my work I regularly study healthy aging and […]
Maria Victoria Fernandez, PhD Linkedin Google I have a long and wide expertise in the field of genetics that goes back to 2005 when I performed my first population genetic studies using microsatellite data. As graduate student, I explored different techniques, Sanger sequencing and short sequence repeats, and I gained a deep understanding on the

Laura Clarke, PhD Twitter Linkedin My long-term research goal is to contribute to our understanding of how glia regulate thedevelopment and function of the nervous system, and how these mechanisms go awry in disease. My interest in glia began during my PhD in David Attwell’s lab at University College London. I focused on investigating the
Shea Andrews, PhD Linkedin Twitter Google Dr. Andrews is an Associate Professor at the University of California San Francisco. He is a genetic epidemiologist interested in the role of both genetic and non-genetic risk factors in the development of Alzheimer’s disease in diverse populations. His research is focused on three major research areas: 1) identifying
Rachel Bennett, PhD Linkedin Twitter Google I am a post-doctoral researcher at the MassGeneral Institute for Neurodegenerative Disease (MIND) with expertise in cellular neuroscience and Alzheimer’s disease. Throughout my academic career my research interests have spanned three key areas providing me with a comprehensive background in 1) pathways of neurodegeneration 2) inflammation and the immune
Kristine Wilkens, PhD Linkedin Twitter Google The goal of our study is to test in older adults with subjective cognitive decline, whether a single session of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is associated with 1) increases in deep, slow-wave sleep, 2) improvements in overnight memory consolidation and executive function, and 3) determine whether cognitive improvements are
Tyler Ulland, PhD Linkedin Google I am an immunologist focused on the innate immune system and in particular tissue macrophages and related cells. I completed both my MS and my PhD at the University of Iowa under the direction of Drs. William Nauseef and Fayyaz Sutterwala respectively. During both my MS and PhD research I
Julia TCW, PhD Linkedin Google Dr. Julia TCW received Ph.D. and A.M. in Molecular and Cellular Biology from Harvard University with research studies in induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) reprogramming in the Department of Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology. She then perused her postdoctoral research in the Department of Neuroscience, Ronald M. Loeb Center for
Chin Hong Tan, PhD Google Dr. Tan received his PhD in Psychology (Cognitive Neuroscience) from the University of Illinois and his BSocSci(Hons) from NUS.

Leon Tai, PhD Linkedin Google Throughout the human body there are specialized, dynamic and complex cellular barrier interfaces that play a central role in tissue homeostasis. The cerebrovasculature (CV) is the largest interface of blood-to-brain contact, and every neuron is supplied by its own capillary. Dynamic processes at the CV prevent the uptake of unwanted
