Graduate Research Assistant
CurrentAs a graduate research assistant, I am currently training under the guidance of Dr. Adam Bachstetter, a renowned expert in neuroinflammation, Alzheimer's Disease and traumatic brain injury. My project focuses on investigating how neuronal interleukin-1 receptor-1 signaling contributes to the pathophysiology of mild traumatic brain injury, but more specifically contributes to neuroinflammation.In Dr. Bachstetter's laboratory, I am developing advanced skills in neurobiology research, including molecular biology techniques, histology, immunohistochemistry, and electrophysiological techniques such as field potential recordings. I am collaborating with other members of the lab to design and execute experiments, and we regularly share our findings at national conferences and in leading scientific journals. This project has significant implications for the development of novel therapeutics aimed at preventing or mitigating the adverse effects of brain injury, and I am excited to contribute to the growing understanding of neuroinflammation's role in traumatic brain injury.
