About

Dr. Mortazavi received hishis Ph.D. at Northeastern University in Experimental Psychology and Behavioral Neuroscience. As a postdoctoral fellow, he was a Michel J. Fox Foundation Fellow in the Department of Neurology at UCLA where his studies focused on molecular and neuroanatomical changes in neurodegenerative disorders. He is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology and his primary research is focused Neurobiology of Aging and Neurodegenerative disorders. He is an expert in Confocal Microscopy, 2-photon Microscopy and statistical physics for analysis of these types of big data. His laboratory focuses on the effects of normal aging on structure and function of cerebral cortex and cortical ischemia . Dr. Mortazavi teaches the statistics course in the department of Anatomy and Neurobiology and is an active Consultant for Experimental Design and Analysis.
