معرفی
Yury M. Morozov is a Research Scientist in Neuroscience at the Yale School of Medicine. He specializes in advanced microscopy techniques, including 3D reconstruction of neural structures from electron micrographs, and investigates neurodegenerative diseases and central nervous system pathologies. His work focuses on calcium signaling, mitochondrial dynamics, and tau protein pathology in non-human primate models of Alzheimer’s and cognitive disorders.
Education:
- PhD in Neurobiology, National Phytopathology Research Institute (1991)
- Stipendiary Research Fellowship, Institute of Experimental Medicine, Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Budapest (2003)
Research Interests:
- Ultrastructural analysis of neuronal and glial cells
- Role of calcium pathways in prefrontal cortex dysfunction
- Mitochondrial abnormalities in aging and neurodegeneration
- 3D reconstruction techniques for neural architecture
Recent Research Trends: Dr. Morozov’s studies highlight the critical role of calbindin and Cav1.2 in prefrontal neurons, linking calcium dysregulation to cognitive decline. His work also demonstrates trans-synaptic tau propagation in Alzheimer’s models and identifies Golgi apparatus dysfunction as a precursor to mitochondrial pathology.
Advising & Grants: Collaborates closely with Pasko Rakic, Amy Arnsten, and others on NIH-funded projects exploring neurodegenerative mechanisms. No formal student advisees listed.
Labs & Teams: Member of the Rakic Lab, focusing on cortical development, synaptic plasticity, and ultrastructural neurobiology. Active in cross-departmental initiatives at Yale School of Medicine.
