What we study
The Jones Lab studies how brain cells' metabolism changes in normal aging and in Alzheimer's disease, looking for ways to protect memory. It grows neurons from stem cells made from patients' own cells (iPSCs) instead of using mice, and combines CRISPR, genomics and lab tests of cell function.
