Angela Wang
Research Assistant, Department of Cell and Developmental Biology
Angela graduated from Central Michigan University with a bachelor’s degree in Biochemistry followed by a master’s degree in Biology, cellular molecular biochemistry. Her research focused on Alzheimer’s Disease utilizing a unique mouse model, which displays ectopic neuronal cell cycle re-entry (NCCR) in post-mitotic neurons in mice expressing humanized Aβ. Interestingly, this model recapitulates numerous pathological hallmarks associated with AD, including pathological tau lesions generated from endogenous tau in the absence of tau mutations. Now as a research assistant in the Department of Cell and Developmental Biology at Vanderbilt University, she is continuing her journey in the world of neuroscience studying the choroid plexus.
