About
Makenna A. Rodriguez is a Neurodegenerative Computational Fellow at NINDS/NIH who loves working at the intersection of biology, microscopy, and computation. Their research spans cellular phenotyping, machine learning, biomarker development, protein design, and quantitative imaging, but the bigger goal is always the same: building tools that make complicated biological systems easier to understand. Makenna earned their B.S. in Honors Biology from Howard University with minors in Chemistry and Computer Science. They’re especially excited about using computational approaches to study neural and cellular changes in disease, with long-term interests in early detection, interpretable AI, and translational neuroscience.
