Associate Professor Department of Pharmacology and Chemical Biology
The goal of her research is to get preclinical immunotherapy research to the stage where these agents can be evaluated in clinic. Additionally, Dr. Levites is investigating, as a part of a collaborative RF1 project with Drs. Golde, Seyfried and Dr. Prokop (UF), a role of Amyloid Associated Proteins in the pathology of Alzheimer's disease. She also plays a key role in developing AAV toolkit, looking for optimal ways to deliver AAV to the CNS and achieve highest levels of gene expression in areas of interest.
