Cirrito Lab

John Cirrito, PhD

Focuses on understanding how amyloid-beta is cleared from the brain and how this process influences Alzheimer’s disease progression. The lab uses advanced imaging, molecular biology and in vivo techniques to study synaptic activity, interstitial fluid dynamics and the role of the blood-brain barrier in amyloid clearance. Its research aims to identify therapeutic targets that can enhance clearance mechanisms and reduce neurodegeneration.
