Dr. Stephen Pasternak, MD, CM, PhD | Co-Investigator Dr. Stephen Pasternak is an Associate Professor in the Department of Clinical Neurological Sciences at The University of Western Ontario. He is a Neurologist at London Health Sciences Centre and the Parkwood Institute, the Director of the Cognitive Neurology and Alzheimer’s Disease Research Centre and a Scientist at Lawson Health Research Institute and Robarts Research Institute. Dr. Pasternak’s basic science laboratory at the Robarts Research Institute at Western University uses live cell imaging with confocal microscopy and biochemical techniques to study Lysosomal function in Alzheimer’s disease. He has identified several new pathways in which the Amyloid Precursor Protein is delivered directly to Lysosomes for processing into beta Amyloid. He is currently investigating a mechanism for Abeta secretion using Total Internal Reflection Microscopy (TIRFM) live cell imaging to study vesicle fusion events at the plasma membrane. |
