Biography

Jenny Libien is Associate Professor in the department of Pathology at SUNY Downstate Medical Center, United States of America.

Research Intrest

As a neuropathologist, I am interested in neurologic diseases in general, including memory and movement disorders, demyelinating diseases, autoimmune disorders (especially systemic lupus erythematosus), stroke, central nervous system infections, and brain tumors. Currently, my major research and clinical focus is examining cellular dysfunction and toxicity due to amyloid deposition in Alzheimer's disease and transthyretin amyloidosis.
