The long-term goal of her research program is to understand the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying neuroimmune and neurovascular interactions in brain injury and how they contribute to the onset and severity of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD). Current projects in her laboratory focus on the role of alkaline phosphatases at the blood-brain barrier and gut-vascular barrier in animal models of ischemic stroke, sepsis, and Alzheimer's disease.
