Isabel Sarty is completing her Ph.D. in Neuroscience in Dr. Judes Poirier’s laboratory at McGill University. Her research focuses on the role of IL-18 signaling and broader innate immune activation in the pathogenesis and progression of Alzheimer’s disease, integrating multimodal data from human cohorts. Her doctoral studies are supported by a Fonds de recherche du Québec – Santé (FRQS) doctoral research scholarship. She previously earned an M.Sc. in Neuroscience from McGill University, where her thesis investigated the effects of a small peptide on Aβ43-induced toxicity in transgenic Drosophila melanogaster. She also holds a B.Sc. (Honours) in Neuroscience from Dalhousie University.
