"Identifying, Profiling and Therapeutically Clearing Senescent Cells in Alzheimer’s Disease "

Miranda Orr, docent in neurology, Washington University, St. Louis and research health scientist at the W.G. (Bill) Hefner VA Medical Center, Salisbury, NC, USA.

Dr Orr is a translational neuroscientist with expertise that spans the biology of aging and tau-associated neurodegeneration. A primary goal of her research is to understand cellular and molecular processes driving neurodegeneration and cognitive impairment during the prodromal period associated with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. Orr laboratory has identified a link between tau pathology and cellular senescence and she is the PI of a multisite Phase II trial investigating senescent cell removal in older adults with mild cognitive impairment/early Alzheimer’s disease.
