Vicky Yao 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 integrating […]
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
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 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 can

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?
Pinar Ayata, PhD Linkedin X-twitter Google Dr. Ayata’s research focuses on the role that specialized microglia subpopulations play in mediating environmental effects on brain aging, with a specific focus on Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Microglia, the brain’s primary immune cells, have been implicated as the major causal cell type in AD. Based on recent data, indicating
