I am a Maine native, and grew up on a rural farm in the western mountains. I originally attended culinary arts school and after years of working in the food service industry, I decided to pursue my original interest – biology. I study how aging changes the brain and how those changes can predispose some people to develop neurological diseases such as Parkinson’s disease or Alzheimer’s disease. I use a wide variety of techniques to explore how some people’s protective genes are turned off during aging, and identified a new type of cell in the brain that only shows up in people at risk for neurological diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
