Tanina Arab

Tanina Arab is an Associate Research Scientist in the Neuroscience department at Yale School of Medicine, Yale University. Her primary affiliation is with the Neuroscience research group, with a focus on extracellular vesicles (EVs) in neurodegenerative diseases and neuroinflammation.

Her research interests include proteomic and RNA profiling of EVs in Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and HIV-associated neurodegeneration. She has contributed to establishing standards for EV research (MISEV2023 guidelines) and pioneered brain tissue-derived EV atlases to identify disease biomarkers. Key collaborations involve analyzing EV cargo in APOE genotype contexts and evaluating therapeutic interventions like neutral sphingomyelinase inhibition.

Publications emphasize methodological advancements in EV analysis, including single-particle platforms and microglia-derived EV isolation. Her work bridges basic neuroscience with translational applications in neuroprotection and disease modeling.
