Research summary

Tahira Farooqui studies how lipids (fats such as cholesterol, phospholipids, and sphingolipids) affect the brain, with a focus on inflammation and neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. Related work has examined the gut microbiome's role in neurological and metabolic diseases, and the potential therapeutic use of curcumin (a compound from turmeric) for brain health. Much of this work has appeared in edited book chapters and review-style publications rather than large collaborative lab studies.
