Nicole Janet Scott-Hewitt is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Cell Biology and the Department of Neurobiology at Duke University. Her research focuses on the interactions between cells and molecules derived from the nervous and immune systems, emphasizing their roles in critical molecular and cellular functions. The Scott-Hewitt lab aims to dissect the glial and neuroimmune mechanisms that underlie vulnerability to aging and disease, providing mechanistic insights into how intercellular interactions and immunological changes impact cognitive function and contribute to neuropathology. She has a strong academic background with a Ph.D. from the University of Rochester and has been awarded grants such as the Neurobiology Training Program by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke to further her research endeavors. Additionally, she engages students in independent research through her courses, particularly CELLBIO 493: Research Independent Study.
