Brain endothelial cells form a paracellular and transcellular barrier to blood-borne solutes via tight junctions and scarce endocytotic vesicles. The blood-brain barrier (BBB) plays a pivotal role in the healthy and diseased central nervous system (CNS). BBB damage contributes to increased CNS influx of serum proteins and immune cells, leading to...

Edmund Hollis, Ph.D.
Assistant Professor, Neuroscience
Brain & Mind Research Institute, Weill Cornell Medicine
Director, Circuit Repair Laboratory, Burke Neurological Institute
Edmund Hollis uses genetic models and optogenetic tools to investigate the neuron-intrinsic limitations of regeneration and the system-level integration of circuit changes after spinal cord injury, in order to develop novel therapeutic interventions that take advantage of cortical plasticity to promote recovery.

Alison Goate, D.Phil., Willard T.C. Johnson Research Professor of Neurogenetics, Director, Ronald M. Loeb Center for Alzheimer’s Disease, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai
Alzheimer’s disease is a common neurodegenerative disease that has no effective treatment. We are using genetic approaches to determine the underlying mechanisms of disease with the goal of identifying novel therapeutic targets for treatment. Informatic analyses indicate that AD heritability is enriched within...
