Sharay Setti research focuses on the underlying mechanisms of Alzheimer’s disease pathology and progression. Setti is particularly interested in the role of the lateral entorhinal cortex in early Alzheimer’s disease development. Setti’s goal is to understand that role, and examine ways it can rescue pathology by targeting that region specifically.
