Bing Yao, PhD Linkedin Twitter Facebook Google I have extensively studied genetics, epigenetics and molecular biology in multiple model systems prior to and during my graduate training in Dr. Edward Chan’s laboratory at the University of Florida. In Dr. Chan’s laboratory, I investigated the molecular mechanisms of microRNA-mediated post-transcriptional gene silencing by the repressor protein […]
Srikant Rangaraju, PhD Linkedin Twitter Google I am an early-career physician-scientist studying mechanisms that regulate neuroinflammation in the brain in neurodegenerative diseases and stroke. My laboratory uses traditional in-vitro and in-vivo models coupled with transcriptomics, proteomics and systems-biology approaches to identify novel regulators of neuroinflammation with the ultimate goal of identifying new therapeutic approaches and biomarkers of neurologic disease.
Erik Johnson, PhD Linkedin Google My research interests focus on understanding the biochemical mechanisms that underlie Alzheimer’s disease, and developing molecular biomarkers for this disease. My graduate research training was in protein synthetic chemistry, and allowed me to become an expert in protein analysis by mass spectrometry, and with aggregating proteins and peptides such as
Anna Pimenova, PhD Linkedin Google My long-term research focus is on the effect of neuroinflammation on triggering and progression of neurodegeneration. Specifically I am interested in how brain damage affects glial function in cell autonomous way and neuron-glia communication through non-cell autonomous pathways. Answers to these outstanding questions can be implemented together with information on
Georgia Hodes, PhD Linkedin Twitter Facebook Google My goal is to understand the impact of stress on the bidirectional relationship between the brain and body. My research identifies biological mechanisms that contribute to individual differences in response to stress and influence mental health. I have combined my Ph.D. training examining the effects of stress on
Phillip O’Herron, PhD Linkedin Google My graduate training was in visual processing in the neocortex. For my post-doctoral fellowship, I wanted to learn the novel optical techniques that were being developed as tools for in vivo neuroscience. I joined the lab of Prakash Kara at MUSC where I became proficient with two-photon and intrinsic signal
Tessa Harrison, PhD Linkedin Twitter Google I am a neuroscientist and neuroimager committed to studying healthy aging and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). I began my training with Drs. Emily Rogalski and M-Marsel Mesulam studying the rare dementia syndrome primary progressive aphasia and a unique cohort of high-performing individuals over 80 (dubbed ‘SuperAgers’). I then matriculated to
Sarah Hopp, PhD Linkedin Twitter Google I am an early career investigator in the process of starting my research laboratory as an Assistant Professor at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio. I am highly motivated to build a cutting-edge research program investigating the role of microglia, the immune cells of the
Fanny Elahi, MD, PhD Linkedin X-twitter Google Fanny Elahi, MD, PhD is a physician-scientist and Associate Professor in the Departments of Neurology, Neuroscience, and Pathology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City. She serves as Director of Fluid Biomarker Research at the Barbara and Maurice Deane Center for Wellness
Kei Igarashi, PhD Linkedin Twitter Google Throughout my career, a central direction of my research has been to understand how interactions between multiple brain regions give rise to behavior. To this end, I have been pursuing research using olfactory perception and memory as model behaviors, and investigating cellular and circuit mechanisms that support such behaviors.
