Michael Gordon Harrington

Michael Gordon Harrington is a Professor in the Department of Neurology at the University of Southern California. His research focuses on neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Alzheimer’s disease and migraine, with an emphasis on cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers, blood-brain barrier dynamics, and lipid metabolism.

Key research areas include:

• Alzheimer’s disease and preclinical dementia detection
• Migraine pathophysiology and biomarker identification
• Lipid metabolism in neurodegeneration
• CSF biochemistry and barrier transport
• Neuroimaging and electrophysiology

Recent publications highlight his work on sodium dynamics, HDL particles, retinal biomarkers, and lipidomic profiling in Alzheimer’s and migraine. His studies often integrate clinical and translational approaches to bridge basic science and patient care.
