Overview
My research is motivated by the need for better treatments for neurological diseases. The brain changes as we age, and treatments that work for a young person are not always effective for older adults. Our studies focus on developing a better understanding of neurobiological changes in aging, especially ones that are different for women and men. We use genomic and proteomic techniques and modern computational tools to chart the trajectory of changes in female and male brains across the lifespan.
