Harpreet Kaur, Ph.D.

Associate Research Scientist

Investigating complex interaction between genetic background and environmental factors to identify the molecular mechanisms of cognitive decline in normal aging and neurodegenerative diseases.

Building on her previous work in neuropharmacology and the gut-brain axis, where Harpreet explored neuroprotective compounds and microbial interventions such as probiotics and synbiotics, her current work employs integrated multi-omics to resolve how diet-induced metabolic dysfunction impacts brain health. By utilizing high-resolution proteomics (bulk and single-cell) and metabolomics, she seeks to identify the molecular pathways through which dietary challenges, biological aging and genetic background converge to impair cognitive function.
