Elizabeth D. Kirby's research focuses on adult hippocampal neural stem cells, the cells in the brain's memory-related hippocampus region that continue to generate new neurons throughout life. Her work examines how these stem cells are maintained and regulated, particularly through blood vessel signaling molecules like VEGF, nutrient transporters, and secreted factors (the 'secretome'), as well as methodological tools for studying these cells and related behaviors. This research aims to understand the basic biology of ongoing brain cell generation and its relationship to memory, stress, and neurodegeneration.
