Korol joined the Dep artment of Biology as an Associate Professor in August 2012. Her interests in aging extend to the community where she has conducted continuing educa tion colloquia on Geriatrics for Non-Physicians and developed and taught c ourses for the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute.  Education initiatives\ , public engagement and community outreach indeed define many of Dr. Korol ’s extended activities. Professor Korol’s research focuses on the shif ts in neural plasticity across the lifespan and under certain conditions s uch as changes in hormonal status\, cognitive activity\, and physical fitn ess.  An overarching goal of her work is to understand the molecular and cellular processes that contribute to healthy aging and to pathological br ain aging including Parkinson’s disease. Recent work from her lab indica tes that motor deficits seen in a rat model of Parkinson’s disease are a ccompanied by enhancements in some forms of memory that could be tapped fo r therapeutic purposes.  She has published dozens of papers and has had f unding from NIH\, NSF\, and private industry. Together\, Dr. Korol’s res earch program has important implications for maintaining brain function ac ross aging in health and disease.\n\n \; ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://womenshealthresearchcluster.com/wp-conte nt/uploads/2024/11/website_event_photo.jpg CATEGORIES:Women’s Health Seminar Series END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/Vancouver X-LIC-LOCATION:America/Vancouver BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20220313T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0800 TZOFFSETTO:-0700 TZNAME:PDT END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
