Biography

Claudia Espinosa-Garcia earned her PhD in Biomedical Sciences from the National Autonomous University of Mexico in 2014. She joined Emory University as a postdoctoral fellow in 2015, focusing on neuroinflammation-related comorbidities that aggravate outcomes in the injured brain. In 2017, she was awarded the American Heart Association Postdoctoral Fellowship to study chronic stress and the microglial immune response in the ischemic brain. In 2019, she received the NARSAD Young Investigator Grant from the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation to examine microglial transcriptomic changes during status epilepticus and their impact on depressive-like behavior. In 2022, she joined Rangaraju's Lab, where she received technical training to innovatively study native state proteomes in physically unaltered cell subtypes and subcellular compartments in vivo. Her research aims to identify cell-type-specific proteomes impacted by comorbidities contributing to cognitive decline and increased risk for neurodegenerative diseases.
