Bio
Inma Cobos is a physician-scientist and neuropathologist with expertise in neurodegeneration. She earned her MD and PhD from the University of Murcia in Spain and completed postdoctoral training in developmental neurobiology at the University of California, San Francisco. She then pursued a clinical residency and a fellowship in anatomic pathology and neuropathology at Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School. Before joining Stanford, she was an assistant professor in the Department of Pathology and Neuropathology at the UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine. Her research program integrates diagnostic neuropathology with developmental neuroscience and state-of-the-art cellular and molecular technologies to advance understanding of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. Her lab applies single-cell approaches to human brain tissue to dissect the contributions of distinct cell types to Alzheimer’s disease pathogenesis and to investigate the mechanisms of tau-mediated neurodegeneration in the human brain.
