James J Lah, MD/PhD
Professor of Neurology, Alice and Roy Richards Chair for Alzheimer’s Research Department of Neurology
My research is driven by the goal of understanding basic pathogenic mechanisms in neurodegenerative disorders. Specific topics of interest include: regulation of amyloid precursor protein (APP) processing through control of intracellular trafficking, analysis of the role of the apolipoprotein E (ApoE) receptor LR11 in amyloidogenesis, modulation of APP processing by muscarinic receptor activity, and characterization of new genes involved in Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Frontotemporal Dementia, and other neurodegenerative disorders.
