Professional Statement

The central focus of my research program is to understand the role of tau in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and other neurodegenerative tauopathies, with particular emphasis on the mechanisms underlying tau aggregation and propagation, as well as the contributions of vascular damage and neuroinflammation to the synaptotoxicity associated with tau pathology. To investigate these mechanisms, my laboratory employs a wide range of approaches, including in vitro aggregation assays, cellular disease models, Drosophila screens, genetic interaction studies in mice, behavioral analyses, human neuropathological investigations and bioinformatics.
