Catherine Kaczorowski is the Elinor Levine Professor in Dementia Research at The University of Michigan. She completed her PhD in Neuroscience at Northwestern University and postdoctoral training in systems genetics in the Biotechnology and Bioengineering Center at the Medical College of Wisconsin. Her research focus is to identify early causative events that underlie cognitive deficits associated with normal aging and Alzheimer’s disease. Using multidisciplinary approaches that combine innovative high-resolution and high-throughput membrane proteomics, single-nuclear sequencing, viral-based gene therapy, electrophysiology and computational approaches, her team seeks to identify novel factors that promote resilience to cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease.
