About

Miranda Horn, Ph.D., is interested in how the brain ages at the molecular level. Her current work investigates the effects of infection on the expression of several molecular markers of aging in the brain. Utilizing tissues from nonhuman primate models makes her work highly translatable to the treatment and prevention of neurodegenerative diseases in humans. Additionally, she brings over seven years of experience creating engaging science courses and programs for students in sixth grade through graduate school.
