Alexander Frank
About Me
Alexander (Sasha) Frank is a third year MD-PhD student in the Goate Lab, where he studies how familial Alzheimer's Disease mutations influence microglial function. He hails from Cambridge, Massachusetts. Sasha completed his undergraduate studies with High Honors at Harvard University, where he concentrated in Human Developmental and Regenerative Biology. During that time, he worked in the laboratory of Li-Huei Tsai at MIT, where he studied how Apolipoprotein E confers risk in Alzheimer's disease. As a graduate student in the Neuroscience MTA, he continues to study the pathogenic mechanisms underlying familial and sporadic Alzheimer's Diseae. In his free time, he enjoys exploring New York City by foot and ferry.
