معرفی
LaShae Nicholson is a Postdoctoral Associate in Neuroscience at Yale School of Medicine. She holds a PhD in Biology/Neuroscience from Goethe-Universität Frankfurt. Her research focuses on understanding synaptic mechanisms in neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Alzheimer’s disease, and developing therapies to reverse synaptic loss. Key contributions include studies on Rho-associated protein kinase (ROCK) pathways, synaptic tagging by C1Q, and axon regeneration in spinal cord injury models.
Her work integrates molecular, cellular, and imaging approaches to explore neurobiological processes. Awards include the Kavli Postdoctoral Fellowship (Yale), BRAINS Fellowship (University of Washington), and Career MODE Fellowship (Columbia University).
