Akshata Almad, PhD

Doctor

Dr. Almad received her PhD in Neuroscience from the Ohio State University and completed her post-doctoral training at the Johns Hopkins University.

 

She is a Research Associate in Dr. Adeline Vanderver’s lab and a part of at Leukodystrophy Center for Excellence at CHOP. The focus of Dr. Almad’s research is understanding the role of glial cells in neurodegenerative diseases.
