In two new publications (Jiang et al., 2020; Luo et al., 2020), we report for the first time that women’s increased risk for Alzheimer’s is linked with a relatively more female pattern of development in utero.

A new study lead by senior scientist Amy Christensen, the Pike Lab reports that the protective effects of estrogen against obesity and Alzheimer’s pathology is reduced during aging in female mice.

The Pike Lab welcomes Bayla Breningstall who joins the lab as a research technician.
