Michelle Rudman, MD, PhD is a postdoctoral fellow in aging and dementia at the Washington University Knight ADRC. She obtained her combined MD/PhD degree from the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine in 2019 and completed her adult neurology residency training at Washington University/Barnes Jewish Hospital in 2023. Dr. Rudman sees patients in the Washington University Memory Diagnostic Center and conducts research on Alzheimer's disease in the laboratory of Dr. David M. Holtzman. Dr. Rudman's research focuses on understanding the ways in which the adaptive immune response may be exacerbating neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration in a mouse model of tauopathy. This research has important implications for understanding the ways in which the immune response contributes to Alzheimer's disease-related pathology.
