Biography

The lab is interested in deciphering the molecular events leading to neurodegeneration in Alzheimer’s disease. Like most neurodegenerative diseases, Alzheimer’s affects only very specific sets of neurons in its earliest stages. These neurons are located in the entorhinal cortex, a brain region indispensable for new memory formation. We think that understanding the particularities of these entorhinal cortex neurons will yield novel insights into the Alzheimer’s pathological processes. Eventually this will lead to the identification of new therapeutic targets to prevent neurodegeneration. In order to elucidate the properties of entorhinal neurons at single-cell resolution, we use a combination of mouse models, human postmortem tissue, novel in vitro culture protocols, and in silico modeling.
