Stephanie Muscat

Stephanie Muscat studies how diet, aging, and medical interventions like surgery and opioid painkillers affect brain function and memory, with a particular focus on inflammation in the brain (neuroinflammation). Her work uses animal models to examine how factors such as high-fat diets and post-surgical drug treatments can worsen or prolong cognitive problems, especially in older animals, and how these effects might be prevented through diet or drug interventions.

Publication output grew from none in the late 2010s to a steady pace of several papers per year since 2020, peaking in 2023, suggesting an active and growing research program over the last five years.
