Dr. Inma Cobos is a neuropathologist and neuroscientist with expertise in neurodegeneration. Her research program combines her background in diagnostic neuropathology, knowledge of developmental neuroscience, and state-of-the-art cellular and molecular technologies to advance the understanding of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. She is currently applying single-cell methods to human brain to dissect the contributions of distinct cell types to Alzheimer’s disease pathogenesis and investigate the mechanisms of tau-mediated neurodegeneration in human brain.
Dr. Ian Chen's research focuses on elucidating the mechanisms of valvular heart disease using a variety of imaging, computational, machine learning, stem cell-based, and next-generation sequencing tools, with the long-term goal to translate mechanistic findings into personalized therapies for patients.
