Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRogan Grant is a Schmidt Science Fellow and postdoctoral researcher at Northwestern University with nine years of experience probing how mitochondrial dysfunction in microglia drives neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration in aging and dementia. Co-mentored by leaders at Northwestern and Rockefeller, he combines genetic tools (CRISPR/Cas), in vivo models from Drosophila to mouse, and custom behavioral and prototyping skills to link molecular mechanisms to organismal phenotypes. His PhD work and subsequent roles have blended advanced histology, intracranial viral approaches, and quantitative analysis in R to interrogate neuroimmune interactions. Rogan brings hands-on instrumentation and maker-space experience—developing Arduino-based assays and 3D-printed apparatus—to bridge biological questions with bespoke experimental tools. He has contributed to translational projects aimed at gene therapies for Huntington’s disease and built platforms for screening disease modifiers in ALS models. Based in Chicago, he is driven by translating mechanistic mitochondrial biology into interventions for age-related neurodegenerative disease.
