Physician-scientist Dr. Sarah (SK) Kaufman, Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Kampmann lab and the Seeley lab, received an NIH K08 award. This award will support her as she transitions to start her independent lab.
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!
