Biography

Jean-Pierre Roussarie is an Assistant Professor at Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine in the Department of Anatomy & Neurobiology. He has a PhD from Pierre Marie Curie University (Paris VI). His research focuses on deciphering molecular events leading to neurodegeneration, particularly in Alzheimer's disease. Roussarie's work aims to understand the specific neuron groups affected during the earliest stages of Alzheimer's pathology, especially within the entorhinal cortex which is crucial for new memory formation. By employing a combination of mouse models, human postmortem tissue, and advanced in vitro culture protocols, his lab seeks to elucidate the properties of entorhinal neurons with single-cell resolution. Aside from his research, Roussarie is also engaged in promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion within academia and has co-organized programs to support historically underrepresented scholars in the field.
