Glymphatic function in aging and dementia: sleep, waste and neurodegeneration at the crossroads of the CNS

My research focuses upon how the different cells of the brain work in concert to maintain whole-brain function. My strongest interest is in the cerebral vasculature, how it functions as a crossroads between the CNS and periphery, different brain regions, fluid compartments and cell types; maintaining appropriate sequestration, exchange and communication. The breakdown of these relationships are a key contributor to many neuological, neurovascular and neurodegenerative diseases.
