Research Focus
Dr. Sathya Puthanveettil's lab at the University of Florida focuses on understanding the role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in Alzheimer's disease. The lab aims to uncover how these molecules contribute to the disease's progression, particularly through their effects on synaptic function and memory. By investigating specific lncRNAs like SLAMR, the research could lead to innovative therapeutic strategies for combating Alzheimer's.

Career totals from OpenAlex, compared against labs that share a department. A department spans everything from one paper to tens of thousands, so bar heights are on a log scale — otherwise the largest lab would flatten every other bar to a line.
