Hi there 👋

My name is Ashlyn Johnson, my pronouns are she/her/hers, and I'm a Neuroscience PhD Candidate at Emory University.

Overview

Undergraduate Institution: North Carolina State University

  • B.S. Biological Sciences with a Concentration in Integrative Physiology and Neurobiology, 2017
  • Minors: Biotechnology & Cognitive Science
  • Undergraduate Research: Co-authored four publications with the Meitzen Lab at NC State and completed two Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowships with the Diamond Lab at UT Southwestern.

Graduate Institution: Emory University

  • PhD Candidate in the Neuroscience Graduate Program
  • Member of the Hales Lab where I study the contribution of astrocytes to frontotemporal dementia.

You can view a current list of my peer-reviewed publications here.

Interests

In the lab, I'm interested in studying the contributions of astrocyte and astrocyte endfeet to tau-related frontotemporal dementia. I am broadly interested in the blood brain barrier, glymphatics, astrocyte homeostasis, and tau biology. Outside of the lab, I am working to strengthen my skills in R, python, and SQL.

Please reachout to me @ashgjoh on twitter or on LinkedIn if you would like to connect.
