Rachel Nosheny PhD

Nosheny is a neuroscientist with over 10 years of research experience in molecular and cellular mechanisms of neurodegeneration, including studies of Alzheimer’s disease, Down syndrome, and AIDS dementia complex. Her areas of expertise are synaptic biology and neurotrophic factor signaling, and she has previously been awarded research fellowships from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, John Adler Foundation, and Larry L. Hillblom Foundation.

After receiving her Ph.D. in Neuroscience from Georgetown University, Nosheny completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Stanford University, where she identified important synaptic and intercellular signaling abnormalities in mouse models of Down syndrome and Alzheimer’s disease.
