Overview
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disease, and mutations in the Amyloid Precursor Proteins and Presenilins has been linked to familial forms of AD. I have been actively engaged in AD research for the last decade, and have made important contributions to the understanding of synaptic dysfunction and mitochondrial calcium dysregulation in AD pathogenesis. In addition to being an expert electrophysiologist in the neurophysiology field, I have also gained extensive knowledge of mouse genetics and expertise in behavioral paradigms for learning and memory of AD mouse models. My research has been performed on the physiological role of Presenilins, Nicastrin and Amyloid Precursor Proteins in the mouse adult brain, focusing on the hippocampal network, and found its essential roles in synaptic plasticity at hippocampal synapses.

Bibliographic
Publications listed below are automatically derived from MEDLINE/PubMed and other sources, which might result in incorrect or missing publications. Faculty can login to make corrections and additions.

PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
