Miss Laura McIntire is an Assistant Professor at Columbia University,She have been studying the molecular basis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) as well as potential therapeutic targets with a focus on lipid biology. Building on my interest of lipid modifying enzymes for my doctoral thesis (2001 – 2006) I was the first to discover and characterize a novel lipid kinase, Multi-substrate Lipid Kinase later renamed Acylglycerol Kinase (MuLK/AGK). For my postdoctoral training (2006 – 2009), I chose to apply my expertise in lipid biology to a clinical application with severe unmet need, determining the role of lipids and lipid modifying enzymes in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). During my time at Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC), which included my postdoctoral training, promotion to Associate Research Scientist (2009) and appointment to Assistant Professor (2014), I have been identifying novel molecules and harnessing their potential as therapeutic targets in AD.
