Research

Our laboratory uses human brain tissue specimens and human cell-derived model systems to study the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and identify viable therapeutic targets.  I am also the Director of the New York Brain Bank, and we are using tissue specimens from this repository to better understand the heterogeneity of AD pathology and how this may impact clinical presentation.  We use a broad range of computational and molecular techniques, and collaborate extensively with other PIs at CUIMC.
