Dr. Gomez-Isla has specific clinical interests in Alzheimer's disease and other dementias. She see patients with these disorders as part of clinical evaluation and care, as well as for research purposes. There is a great need to understand the mechanisms that lead to neural system collapse and impaired cognition in Alzheimer's disease and related disorders, and to find better treatments potentially able to prevent or cure this illness. A large part of her research focuses on the development and characterization of transgenic mouse models of Alzheimer's disease and on testing novel therapeutic strategies. Dr. Gomez-Isla also perform research on human brains from individuals who suffered Alzheimer's disease while alive and cognitively-intact individuals across the age spectrum searching for molecular mechanisms responsible for individual vulnerability/resilience to this type of dementia.
