👋Welcome to the Palavicini Lab, Jude!

Jude examining brain regions and what glial cells they contain

We are excited to welcome Jude Aden into our lab! Jude is an undergraduate student at UTSA who is interning with us through the Summer Physiology Undergraduate Researcher (SPUR) program. Jude will be researching how PLCG2 gene variants are linked to Alzheimer’s disease, related dementias, and longevity. His project will specifically focus on PLCγ2 to better understand how these cellular pathways contribute to neurodegeneration. Jude is a pre-med student and hopes to pursue a career as an allergist-immunologist.
