Katrin Andreasson

Professor of Neurology
Research Interests
Our research focuses on understanding how immune responses initiate and accelerate synaptic and neuronal injury in age-related neurodegeneration, including models of Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. We also focus on the role of immune responses in aggravating brain injury in models of stroke. Our goal is the identification of critical immune pathways that function in neurologic disorders and that can be targeted to elicit disease modifying effects.

Professor of Pathology and of Microbiology and Immunology and, by courtesy, of Chemical and Systems Biology
Research Interests
Our lab uses chemical, biochemical, and cell biological methods to study protease function in human disease. Projects include:

1) Design and synthesis of novel chemical probes for serine and cysteine hydrolases.

2) Understanding the role of hydrolases in bacterial pathogenesis and the human parasites, Plasmodium falciparum and Toxoplasma gondii.

3) Defining the specific functional roles of proteases during the process of tumorogenesis.

4) In vivo imaging of protease activity

Erin Gibson

Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences (Sleep Medicine)
Research Interests
Glia make up more than half of the cells in the human brain, but we are just beginning to understand the complex and multifactorial role glia play in health and disease. Glia are decidedly dynamic in form and function. Understanding the mechanisms underlying this dynamic nature of glia is imperative to developing novel therapeutic strategies for diseases of the nervous system that involve aberrant gliogenesis, especially related to changes in myelination.

Rona Giffard

Professor of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine, Emerita
Research Interests
Astrocytes, microglia and neurons interact, and have unique vulnerabilities to injury based on their patterns of gene expression and their functional roles. We focus on the cellular and molecular basis of brain cell injury in stroke. We study the effects of altering miRNA expression, altering levels of heat shock and cell death regulatory proteins. Our goal is to improve outcome by improving mitochondrial function and brain cell survival, and reducing oxidative stress and inflammation.
