Biography

Research Interests: Brain aging and neurodegeneration, pluripotent stem cells, direct transdifferentiation, Alzheimer's Disease.

The goal for my laboratory is to understand the molecular and cellular fundamentals of brain aging and neurodegeneration. We employ neural cell culture models that exploit pluripotent stem cells as well as direct trans-differentiation of somatic cells to study Alzheimer's Disease.
