معرفی
Anika M. Hartz, PhD, is a Professor in the Department of Pharmacology & Nutritional Sciences at the University of Kentucky. She is affiliated with the Sanders-Brown Center on Aging, focusing on neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s, epilepsy, and brain cancer. Her research centers on the regulation of blood-brain barrier function in disease contexts.
Dr. Hartz earned her PhD in Pharmaceutical Sciences (2005) and BS in Pharmacy (2002), both from the University of Heidelberg, Germany. Her work explores how blood-brain barrier transporters like P-glycoprotein and BCRP contribute to neurodegeneration, with a particular emphasis on amyloid-beta dynamics and oxidative stress.
- Key research areas: Neurodegenerative Diseases, Alzheimer’s Disease, Epilepsy, Brain Cancer, Blood-Brain Barrier, Pharmacology
Her publications from 2008–2024 span topics including transporter modulation, vascular dysfunction, and omics approaches to neurodegeneration. She has no explicitly listed students or scientific awards in the provided texts. Her lab collaborates with the Sanders-Brown Center on Aging to investigate mechanisms underlying barrier integrity loss in disease models.
