معرفی
William Flavin is a physician-scientist affiliated with the Department of Neurology at the David Geffen School of Medicine, University of California, Los Angeles. His work bridges clinical neurology and mechanistic research in neurodegenerative diseases.
- Clinical Instructor and Postdoctoral Scholar
- Focus on Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE)
Research Focus:
Flavin investigates cellular invasion mechanisms of neurodegenerative protein aggregates via endocytic vesicle rupture, emphasizing how mutations, post-translational modifications, and aggregate structures influence disease progression. His work includes engineering inducible cell biosensors for tau pathology analysis and exploring aging-related genetic changes in cellular resilience.
Scientific Awards:
- NIH K08 Career Development Award
- NINDS-funded R25/UE5 Program
