Ian Vicino is a Ph.D. student in the neuroscience graduate program working in the lab of Dr. Ian Hogue.

My current work is creating a peripheral neuron synaptogenesis model in order to better examine the mechanisms of Herpes Simplex Virus exocytosis from synapses.

The Sattler laboratory focuses on studies of neurodegeneration in FTD, AD, LBD and ALS using human patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cell-differentiated neurons and glia as a disease model.

Dr Lukas's work focuses on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, which are relevant to a number of neurological and other diseases, in addition to their roles in nicotine dependence and tobacco-related diseases.

My project focuses on neuronal transcriptomic changes due to TDP-43 proteinopathy in Alzheimer's disease.
