Using mouse models and viral vectors, as a powerful system, we take advantage of technology that allows cell-type specific and temporal control over pathologic processes.
Our goal is to develop animal model data sets based on behavior and pathology that we will integrate with data sets on electrophysiology and human pathology from external collaborators to answer fundamental questions about astrocytic contributions to AD and advance our knowledge of astrocytic glutamate transporters as a potential molecular target for intervention in Alzheimers disease.
This project, an NIH-funded collaboration between three labs, will include opportunities to pursue interests in behavior corresponding to the syndrome of dementia in Alzheimers disease, aging, neuropathology, molecular genetics, and viral-vector mediated gene expression.
