Cristina D’abramo PhD

Dr. d’Abramo’s interest in Alzheimer’s disease started 15 years in the Laboratory of Experimental Medicine (Pathology) at the University of Genova. In those early years, the lab was focusing on aging cell biology and on the relationship between oxidative stress, activation of kinases (e.g. PKC) and the metabolism of APP.

During her Ph.D. training at the University of Genova, Dr. d’Abramo had the privilege to join Dr. Peter Davies’ laboratory at Albert Einstein College of Medicine as a visiting scientist, getting to learn more about the role of tau pathology in Alzheimer’s disease.

After defending her PhD thesis in Genova, Dr. d’Abramo was offered a Postdoctoral position by Dr. Davies in the Alzheimer’s disease and Memory Disorder Center at the Feinstein Institute for Medical Research (Northwell Health).
