What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters collaboration and innovation in neurological research.

I am Rohan Jagirdar, PhD, with nearly a decade of experience in basic and translational research in neurology. My journey has taken me through various esteemed institutions globally, where I have developed a profound understanding of neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Alzheimer's disease and epilepsy. My ambition is fueled by a curiosity to unravel the complexities of the brain and to bridge the gap between scientific research and clinical outcomes.

Currently, I serve as an Instructor at Baylor College of Medicine, where I lead projects in Alzheimer research, manage collaborations, and mentor aspiring scientists. My contributions include multiple publications and presentations at prestigious conferences, showcasing my commitment to advancing our understanding of neurological disorders. I am passionate about educating others and fostering a collaborative environment that encourages innovative thinking and problem-solving.
