Kissick Family Foundation FTD Science Advisory Board Member
Erik Roberson, MD, PhD, is a physician-scientist with a focus on age-related neurodegenerative diseases. The Roberson lab studies the neurobiology of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD), with a focus on understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms of these disorders and identifying new therapeutic strategies. Focus areas include tau and its binding partners in neuronal dysfunction in AD, the mechanisms by which genetic risk factors drive AD, and how progranulin deficiency causes FTD.
