Stephen Strittmatter, PhD

The Strittmatter Lab is interested in disorders that impact human cognition. In particular, this includes Alzheimer's, fronto-temporal dementia, and traumatic Injury. They seek to define the molecular, cellular, and circuit basis for impaired cognition in each of these conditions. Furthermore, the lab aims to develop therapeutics to reverse or overcome the dysfunction and apply this knowledge to develop therapeutics. Their work includes mouse models of disease and human translation in clinical trials.
