Elisa Cleveland

Elisa Cleveland is a Researcher at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF), affiliated with the School of Medicine. She is part of the Prusiner Lab and the Institute for Neurodegenerative Diseases (IND), collaborating closely with renowned researchers like Stanley Prusiner. Her work focuses on neurodegenerative diseases, particularly prion diseases, protein misfolding, and related molecular mechanisms. Key research areas include alpha-synuclein (linked to Parkinson's) and tau proteins (associated with Alzheimer's).

Her research utilizes transgenic animal models and advanced techniques such as antibody specificity analysis. Co-authors include Jacob Ayers, Carlo Condello, and others in the IND. She contributes to understanding prion propagation, protein conformation changes, and neurodegenerative pathways.
