Lab information
The primary emphasis of my Lab is to understand how Alzheimer's disease operates — from the mechanism of damage to repair. Major efforts are in developing early diagnostic strategies and disease-modifying therapies. Research projects included in our study:
• Disease in the Eye’s retina
• Retinal biomarker imaging: can Alzheimer’s be detected noninvasively and definitively with retinal imaging?
• Visual deficits in animal models of aging and AD
• Disease pathogenesis in the brain, retina and body fluids:
o Neuro-immune interactions
o Neurovascular unit
o Infectious etiology
o Epigenome mechanisms and related interventions
• Immune-based therapies
• Blood monocytes in repair and regeneration of central nervous system and cognitive preservation
• Enhancing angiotensin-converting enzyme in immune cells
• Other strategies to preserve brain cells, structure, and connectivity, protecting from cognitive decline
