Dr. Chumley’s research explores the pathophysiology of aging-related neurological disorders, particularly Alzheimer’s disease. He investigates the interplay between inflammation, stress, and diet in disease pathology, collaborating closely with Dr. Gary Boehm in the Department of Psychology. His lab employs molecular and cellular techniques (e.g., immunoassays, gene expression analysis, histology, cell culture) and involves students in animal husbandry and behavioral testing.
