Tau protein in neurobiology: regulation and deregulation in vivo.
FY 2012-13
Summary
My research proposal is to develop a program examining the regulation of tau function in the normal brain, its deregulation in the diseased brain, with an emphasis on Alzheimer's disease (AD), and potential treatments available to alleviate tau pathology.
Thus the proposal will focus on 3 main research directions, performed mainly in vivo:
- Molecular basis of tau regulation in vivo
- Impact of biological and environmental factors on AD pathogenesis
- Pharmacological treatments of AD pathology
