Dr. Green has been a pioneer in two areas in the Alzheimer’s/neurobiology research field:
1) He has made pioneering discoveries regarding the role of microglia in Alzheimer’s disease and healthy neurobiology. He has made many contributions, including identifying the colony stimulated factor receptor 1 (CSFR1) as a required receptor for microglial survival. Currently CSFR1 antagonists are broadly used in the field to study the impacts of microglial depletion on brain function.
2) The development of mouse models for Alzheimer’s disease. Dr. Green is a PI of the MODEL-AD consortium, which has developed many of the most widely used mouse models for Alzheimer’s disease. The MODEL-AD consortium has also recently developed mouse models for late onset/sporadic AD, which will be invaluable for the field.
