Poster Board #2898: 3D Whole-Brain Imaging of Parenchymal/Vascular Amyloid Plaque Architecture During Disease Progression in a Transgenic Mouse Model of Alzheimer's Disease

This study uses high-throughput light sheet fluorescence microscopy and AI-driven image analysis to map age- and sex-dependent amyloid plaque accumulation in a transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease. Findings highlight faster amyloidosis progression in female mice and delayed vascular plaque deposition, underscoring the importance of considering sex and age in preclinical drug evaluation.

Featured Taconic Presenter

Laura Griffin, PhD

Field Applications Scientist

Dr. Laura Griffin has been working with preclinical models for a decade and is experienced in choosing appropriate models for various research applications. She obtained her PhD in Food Science and Technology at Virginia Tech, where she focused on the mechanisms by which dietary bioactive compounds influence the onset of metabolic syndrome using preclinical models. As a postdoctoral fellow at the Plants for Human Health Institute, her research shifted to focus on the impact of the gut microbiome on the metabolism of bioactive compounds. In addition to her expertise in metabolic diseases in preclinical models, Dr. Griffin is also versed in laboratory animal diets and their usage in preclinical applications.
