(Kelly) Marie Johns is a PhD Candidate in Medical Genetics at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. She is recognized for her academic contributions and publications in translational neuroscience, where she utilizes high-dimensional single-cell transcriptomics to investigate how sex-specific mechanisms and neurovascular dysfunction drive Alzheimer’s disease. Marie’s work aims to bridge the gap between basic molecular discovery and the development of novel, sex-informed therapeutic interventions for neurodegenerative disorders.
