Biography
Enrique Cadenas, PhD, researches the molecular mechanisms inherent in brain aging and Alzheimerâs disease under an umbrella that characterizes and evaluates quantitatively the decline in energy metabolism associated with brain aging and age-related neurodegenerative diseases by addressing the coordinated regulation of signaling and transcriptional pathways and mitochondrial function. This coordinated triad is critical in the regulation of brain glucose uptake and metabolism.
