Current work: Microglia in aging and rejuvenation

My research interest focuses on the role of microglia in aging and rejuvenation, specifically using single-cell genomic technologies to identify potential markers, pathways, and regulatory factors that contribute to the molecular mechanisms of these processes in neurodegenerative diseases. By utilizing single-cell RNA sequencing and computational models, I am investigating the molecular mechanisms that underlie the aging and rejuvenation of microglia. My research has the potential to advance my understanding of the complex interplay between microglia, aging, neurodegeneration, and genetics and could lead to the development of new therapies to improve the health and function of the aging brain.
