Dr.
Laura Mudd's laboratory project explores the neurodegeneration due to
β-amyloid, a protein involved in Alzheimer's disease, using rat brain
cells as a model. A number of physiologically active growth factors and
hormones are used to treat the amyloid exposed cells to determine if they
might reverse or slow the degenerative process. Biochemical, immunological,
and microscopic techniques are used to analyze the effects of each of
the added factors.
Dr.
Mudd's laboratory consists of a research assistant, Dallis Green,
and one student technician.
