Recruitment PeriodOpen date: January 1st, 2021 Next review date: Monday, Feb 1, 2021 at 11:59pm (Pacific Time) Final date: Friday, Dec 31, 2021 at 11:59pm (Pacific Time) DescriptionDescription Research Description Requirements About The focus of Dr. Rissman’s basic science research is novel biomarker discovery studies in experimental neuropathology, focused primarily on Alzheimer’s disease (AD). A major focus of his lab in AD biomarkers is studying the utility and mechanistic underpinnings of neuronal exosomes. Dr. Rissman and his research group have published manuscripts demonstrating the ability of tau and a-beta in neuronal exosomes to predict conversion from mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to AD. Dr. Rissman also investigates the contribution of stress and changes in stress signaling intermediates in AD neuropathology. Using transgenic animal models and in vivo pharmacology, experiments focus on identifying the role of corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) receptors in beta-amyloid deposition, tau phosphorylation, behavioral, and synaptic changes. Dr. Rissman examines postmortem human tissues to assay the specific changes that occur in the CRF signaling system during aging and Alzheimer’s disease.
