Assistant Professor of Neuroscience, George and Anne Ryan Institute for Neuroscience, Department of Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Rhode Island.
Dr. Jaime Ross is an Assistant Professor of Neuroscience with joint appointments in the George and Anne Ryan Institute for Neuroscience and the Department of Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Sciences in the College of Pharmacy at the University of Rhode Island. Dr. Ross obtained her Ph.D. in Medical Sciences in the Department of Neuroscience at Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden, in collaboration with the National Institutes of Health Graduate Partnerships Program, and thereafter, completed post-doctoral training at both Karolinska Institutet and Harvard Medical School. Dr. Ross’ overall research interests are to understand the basic mechanisms of disease, focusing on aging and age-related diseases, and in particular brain aging disorders such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. Her lab is most interested in understanding the interconnectedness of environmental factors (toxins, such as microplastics, and lifestyle factors, such as diet and exercise) on mitochondrial dysfunction, epigenetics, and chronic inflammation in aging and disease states in order to develop novel biomarkers and therapies.Meet the Researchers
