Alzheimer's Disease Researcher
My research focuses on elucidating the processes that
result in memory loss and other major neurological
deficits, with an emphasis on Alzheimer’s disease (AD)
and related neurodegenerative disorders. My long-term
goal is to advance the understanding of the healthy
and the diseased central nervous system to a point
where rational strategies can be developed for the
prevention and cure of these conditions.
