Chinnu Salim studies how brain cells age and degenerate, with a focus on the mechanisms behind neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease. Much of the work uses model organisms (notably the microscopic worm Caenorhabditis elegans) and cell-based systems to test how diet, environmental toxins, and antioxidant defenses affect dopamine-producing neurons and cognitive decline. Recent work also examines how boosting mitochondrial antioxidant enzymes in brain support cells can reduce cellular aging.
