I obtained my Ph.D. in Neurology and Neuroscience at the Weill Cornell Graduate School, NY, NY. As a Postdoctoral Fellow in Dr. John Morrison's laboratory, I examined the synaptic and molecular signatures of aging and recognition memory decline in the hippocampus of cognitively-assessed animals.

Research
We are interested in identifying the neurobiological basis of age- and menopause-related cognitive decline. We utilize electron microscopic techniques to examine synaptic and mitochondrial ultrastructure as well as molecular profiles in key brain areas mediating cognitive functions. We are also interested in the effects of estrogen on the brain and the ways in which it can restore cognitive and synaptic functions in aged menopausal animals. Results from our research have important implications for treating age- and menopause-related cognitive symptoms in humans.
Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology companies, and other outside entities to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their outside financial relationships.
