Research Overview —
My research explores the role of hexokinase in improving neuronal metabolism and function in ApoE4-related Alzheimer’s disease. I investigate how enhancing glycolysis may counteract the metabolic dysfunction associated with ApoE4. My work aims to uncover potential therapeutic strategies for neuroprotection.
