Research in the department of brain health spans multiple approaches to conduct impactful and translational research on brain health throughout the lifespan, with particular emphasis on neurodegenerative disorders. Our research spans from cellular and molecular mechanisms of disease and risk factors in the Cellular and Molecular Brain Research Laboratory (CaMBR), the investigation and discovery of biomarkers in the Pam Quirk Brain Health and Biomarker Laboratory, the examination of novel stroke treatments using nanomaterials in the Stroke Repair and Rehabilitation Laboratory, the investigation of neuropsychological changes in aging and disease in the Cognitive Aging & Neuropsychological Equity (CANE) Lab, and the study of the process of drug development and optimal human application in the Chambers-Grundy Center for Transformative Neuroscience. This research is carried out with particular emphasis on rigor, reproducibility, and transparency of the science. To fulfill our mission we collaborate with colleagues throughout UNLV, within the Las Vegas community, and across the globe. We also engage numerous students and trainees as part of the interdisciplinary neuroscience PhD program and undergraduate research assistants.
