Dr. Lenora Higginbotham is an Assistant Professor of Neurology at Emory University where she specializes in movement disorders. She completed her medical school training at Emory University and neurology residency at Johns Hopkins Hospital. She then returned to Emory for a two-year movement disorders fellowship before joining neurology faculty in 2018. In addition to seeing […]
Fang Wu earned her Ph.D. degree in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from the University of Science and Technology of China in 2004. During her Ph.D. research, she focused on crystal structure-function studies of Apoptosis-Linked proteins. Fang started her postdoctoral research training at Emory Center for Neurodegenerative Disease in 2007, where her projects include chaperone mediated […]
I am a Bioinformatics Research Scientist interested in neurodegenerative diseases. I conducted my PhD research at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. I’m currently working to integrating omits data to improve patient outcomes, but I consider myself a system-agnostic computational biologist.
Ananth Shantaraman has earned an M.S. in Bioinformatics from the Georgia Institute of Technology. He has implemented algorithms for peptide/protein quantification and analysis of Mass Spectroscopy Proteomics data. Ananth has collaborated on several research projects with investigators at the Center for Neurodegenerative Disease.
Eddie received his Ph.D. from the National University of Ireland in 2007. He has over 15 years program and project leadership experience in life science research and assists on a number of AD multi-omic research projects within the Seyfried lab and at the Center for Neurodegenerative Disease.
Joshna received her Ph.D. from Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar where her research was focused on charge neutralizing post-translational modifications on amyloid proteins and amyloid peptides. She joined Dr. Seyfried’s group in 2022 where her research interests include the identification of various interacting partners with amyloid proteins which are involved in neurodegenerative diseases and the […]
Caroline Watson received her B.S. degrees in Chemistry and Biochemistry from College of Charleston and her Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Georgia. She did her graduate work with Dr. Ronald Orlando and Dr. Joshua Sharp investigating protein structure and protein-carbohydrate interactions using hydroxyl radical protein footprinting coupled with mass spectrometry. During her ORISE […]
Qi Guo, Master of Science, is graduated from the University of Pennsylvania and now working as a researcher in Dr. Seyfried’s lab. Qi’s project is to develop a label-free targeted parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) assay to address what RNA binding proteins co-aggregate with Tau in early asymptomatic (AsymAD) and symptomatic stages of AD. Qi is […]
