Kevin Beier, PhD Linkedin Google Dr. Beier has a diverse educational and research background that drives me to take a non-traditional approach to neuroscience. His undergraduate education and early research was in biophysics and biochemistry, where he worked laboratory of M. Thomas Record in the Department of Chemistry at UW-Madison, investigating the thermodynamics of protein […]
Peter Sudmant, PhD Twitter Google The objective of my lab’s research is to understand how aging and age associated stresses impact molecular processes in different cell types, genetic backgrounds, and evolutionary contexts. We employ computational, statistical, and experimental methods to interrogate genetic and molecular phenotypic diversity at both the organismal and cellular level. In particular
Sidhartha Mahali, PhD Linkedin Google My primary research interest lies in studying, understanding and translating molecular events into cellular physiology to understand and treat neurodegenerative disorders. My academic career so far has provided me with an excellent background in understanding and studying the cell signaling pathways associated with a number of cellular processes such as
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 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 amyloid-β
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
