The University of Kentucky’s Sanders-Brown Center on Aging is home to researchers pushing the field of Alzheimer’s science forward — among them, soon-to-be graduate Bernardo Aguzzoli Herbele, who will earn his Ph.D. in neuroscience this December. Working in the lab of Mark Ebbert, Ph.D., Bernardo focuses on understanding RNA isoforms in the brain, using large-scale long-read RNA sequencing to uncover molecular differences that may influence Alzheimer’s risk or resilience.
