Physician-scientist Dr. Sarah (SK) Kaufman, postdoctoral fellow in the Kampmann lab and the Seeley lab, received a Developmtal Project Award by the UCSF Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center, supported by philanthropic funds from the Laurel Foundation.
In her research, SK investigates mechanisms that underlie aggregation and neurotoxicity of the protein tau across distinct tau strains associated with different neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease and frontotemporal dementias.
Congratulations, SK!
