Jenelle M. Collier, Ph.D.  Email:

Jenelle M. Collier is a postdoctoral researcher who also works as a research coordinator helping to recruit subjects for the Shulman Lab Precision Medicine Cohort Clinical Research Study. She received her PhD at the Center for Neuroscience at the University of Pittsburgh's Neuroscience Graduate training program, studying the role of reactive astrocytes in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's Disease using AD mouse models to determine the impact of NHE1 protein knockdown attenuating of astrocyte reactivity, Amyloid-Beta accumulation, and cognitive decline. Currently Jenelle uses human cell culture neuronal models to study synaptic regulatory network dynamics and modulation and establish the impact of network gene therapies on glutamatergic neuron survival, activity, and physiology in AD.
