Dr. Lulu Jiang (MD/PhD) is an assistant professor at the University of Virginia. She is a faculty member of the Department of Neuroscience and BIG Center. Dr. Lulu Jiang studies tau, a protein aggregate involved in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's Disease and tauopathies. She is working towards developing novel therapeutics to treat these diseases, along with exploring the biological mechanisms behind the pathogenesis of these diseases.
The pathophysiology of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Parkinson’s disease (PD) and other dementia-related disorders.
At our lab, we have a strong emphasis on comprehending the pathophysiology of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Parkinson’s disease (PD), and other related dementia disorders. Our primary objective is to deepen our understanding of these disease conditions.
To achieve this, we employ cutting-edge technologies in disease modeling, allowing us to recreate and study the pathological processes in a controlled environment. By utilizing these advanced techniques, we gain insights into the intricate molecular mechanisms that underlie the progression of these diseases.
Moreover, our lab is dedicated to the development of innovative therapeutic strategies. We strive to translate our research findings into practical applications that could potentially lead to the discovery of novel treatments. By integrating our knowledge of disease mechanisms with targeted therapeutic approaches, we aim to make significant contributions to the field of neurodegenerative disease research.
Overall, our lab is committed to advancing the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases through the utilization of state-of-the-art technologies and the exploration of molecular mechanisms.
We are looking for new team members to join the Jiang lab for Spring 2025 and onwards. Please review our contact us page for more information.
