My laboratory’s research focuses on comparative neurobiology with an emphasis on aging, neuroinflammation, and neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases). Using an evolutionary perspective, we investigate neurological variances across species, particularly nonhuman primates, as possible mechanisms of humans’ unique vulnerability to aging and neurodegeneration and human-specific cognitive specializations.
