Neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and ALS involve progressive loss of neurons, leading to cognitive and motor impairments. Understanding their mechanisms is key to developing effective therapies.
Maya Simmons is a leading neuroscientist focused on neurodegenerative diseases. Her research investigates the cellular and molecular mechanisms driving conditions like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Huntington's disease. Maya has published extensively on neuronal death pathways and disease progression in neurodegeneration. She has edited comprehensive texts that explore both the biology and emerging therapeutic strategies for these debilitating diseases. Maya’s contributions are essential in developing new treatments aimed at slowing or reversing neurodegenerative processes.
