Dr. Constance Zhou, an MD-PhD student in the Orr lab, successfully defended their dissertation!

Dr. Zhou’s research focused on astrocytic nucleocytoplasmic changes and stress granules associated with TDP-43 pathology and neuroimmune signaling. Thank you to the thesis committee, Drs. Li Gan (Appel Institutes, WCM), Lorenz Studer (Sloan Kettering), and Michael Rout (Rockefeller University), for their great insights and support for the project. We wish Connie all the best in their continued clinical training and future endeavors in medicine!
