معرفی
David Li-Kroeger, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Neurology at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, TX. His research focuses on neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Alzheimer's disease, using Drosophila models to study proteomics networks, genetic variants, and cellular signaling pathways. He has contributed to understanding mechanisms underlying neurodegeneration, aging, and synaptic dysfunction through studies on Notch signaling, retromer complexes, and gene regulation.
Education:
- Bachelor of Science from University of Cincinnati (1991)
- Master of Science from University of Cincinnati (1998)
- Doctor of Philosophy from University of Cincinnati Medical School (2012)
Research Interests: Dr. Li-Kroeger investigates neurodegenerative diseases, aging mechanisms, and developmental biology using Drosophila as a model system. His work emphasizes proteomics networks, genetic variants linked to human diseases, and the role of signaling pathways like Notch in neurological health and pathology.
Article Trends: Recent publications highlight proteomics-based approaches to Alzheimer's disease, genetic variants in PLCG1 and ACOX1, and the impact of dietary restriction on aging. His studies often integrate molecular tools like CRISPR and GAL4 systems to dissect gene function in vivo.
