Our group is interested to understand the extracellular role of Tau in microglia. Further we are interested in the development of therapeutic approaches targeting amyloid and tau oligomers, diagnostics and biomarkers for neurodegeneration. Our lab majorly cell culture, animal models and human tissue to investigate mechanisms of pathogenesis in Tauopathies such as Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative disorders.

As being young investigator, it’s important to participate and connect with ALBA network to understand the cutting-edge science around the globe.
