Biography & Research: 

I have a great interest in understanding the mechanisms of learning and memory, as well as interventions for the cognitive decline during aging and neurodegenerative diseases. My research are focusing on finding possible biomarkers leading to the cognitive decline in brain aging and Alzheimer’s disease by using the state-of-art omics approaches, brain imaging, and cognitive neurosciences. I am also interested in finding possible therapeutics for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases by investigating the effect of natural compounds on the transgenic animal models.
