Mark L Dell'Acqua · Denver, Colorado
Dr. Mark L Dell'Acqua's lab at the University of Colorado Denver focuses on understanding how amyloid beta, a protein involved in Alzheimer's disease, disrupts synaptic function in the brain. The lab investigates the molecular signaling pathways that control synaptic plasticity—the brain's ability to adapt and change. By studying these pathways, the research aims to identify potential therapeutic targets that could help preserve cognitive function in individuals affected by Alzheimer's disease.
