Biographical Sketch
Laura Volpicelli-Daley earned her PhD in Neuroscience at Emory University, where she performed her thesis project in the laboratory of Allan Levey, MD, PhD, Chairman of Neurology and director of the Center of Neurodegenerative Disease. Laura performed her postdoctoral fellowship in Cell Biology at Yale University, in the laboratory of Pietro De Camilli, MD, Howard Hughes Investigator. Laura received further training in Parkinson’s disease at the University of Pennsylvania with Virginia Lee MBA, PhD and John Trojanowski MD, PhD, co-directors of the Center for Neurodegenerative Disease Research.
She utilizes cell biology and neuroscience to understand the mechanisms of neuron dysfunction in Parkinson's disease and Lewy body dementias. The goal of the lab is to stop the progression of these neurodegenerative diseases.
