Work experience Work experience and relevance to the course content if applicable
Applicable I have been researching the mechanisms of brain aging. I am particularly interested in oxidative damage. Oxidative damage accelerates some severe impairments. To prevent the development of these diseases, I use antioxidant nutrients and work on prevention studies using rodent and cell culture models.
