Alzheimer’s disease is a neurological disorder that results in irreversible neurodegeneration. Dsyhomeostasis of metal ions is commonly observed in Alzheimer’s disease. Imbalances in intracellular concentrations of metal ions such as copper, manganese, and iron may induce neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration.

My research focuses on investigating alterations in neuronal copper metabolism during inflammation. I also study the effect of cisplatin on gene expression related to intracellular copper transport and other metabolic pathways. Inflammation and neurodegeneration studies in the presence of metal ions can provide important insights about early events in the pathology of Alzheimer’s disease.
