My laboratory鈥檚 research focuses on comparative neurobiology with an emphasis on aging, neuroinflammation, and neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., Alzheimer鈥檚 and Parkinson鈥檚 diseases). Using an evolutionary perspective, we investigate neurological variances across species, particularly nonhuman primates, as possible mechanisms of humans鈥� unique vulnerability to aging and neurodegeneration and human-specific cognitive specializations.
