Research summary
AI-generated

Amy Smith's work focuses on the biology of neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases, particularly Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and bipolar disorder. Much of the research examines brain support cells (astrocytes and microglia) and how they respond to disease-related proteins, along with related topics like blood flow, cell aging, and cancer screening. This work combines molecular biology, genomics, and cell biology techniques to understand disease mechanisms in the brain and other tissues.
