This role entails performing tissue dissections and processing, cutting, and staining human tissue. The research fellow will use routine and quantitative microscopic techniques (optical dissector stereology, image analysis, slide scanning/computerized algorithms, confocal) for the collection of neuropathologic and neuroanatomic markers and evaluating microscopic degenerative, vascular, and inflammatory neuropathologies to diagnose Alzheimer’s Disease and related pathologies, and other neurodegenerative and vascular diseases of aging. This Research Fellow will also apply digital image analysis workflows using platforms such as HALO, Aperio ImageScope, or comparable systems for segmentation and morphometric analysis and perform macroscopic evaluations of brain pathology for common diseases and aspects of aging. This role also requires participation in human autopsy rotation, including on-call brain p
