Biography & Research:
Interested in the study of neurodegenerative processes such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). In our research group we are interested in analyzing the cellular response to the appearance of the first pathological markers of AD. We study how the neuron degenerates from an early neurofibrillary tangle (NFT) form to extracellular NFT and how proteolytic processes respond to counteract neuronal degeneration.
