Our ongoing research seeks to clarify the basis for disease resilience and vulnerability by discovering the feedback loops between neural excitability, neuroinflammation and cellular metabolic stress in neurodegeneration at cellular and circuit levels. Our unique approach uses a combination of transgenic mouse models, mathematical modeling, open and closed-loop electrophysiology, molecular imaging and cell cultures to address this challenge. Given the positive societal impact this research can have on human health and well-being, we passionately pursue this expedition against all odds!! Read more.
