Our lab is focused on developing new, minimally invasive tools for rapid and accurate diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases during the pre-symptomatic phases and predicting of outcomes during the acute phase of ischemic strokes.

As part of the NeuroGenomics and Informatics Center we aim to understand the biology of neurodegenerative diseases by using high-dimensional omics data, deeply phenotyped samples, and functional approaches.

The Ibanez Lab is committed to the recruitment and education of students from all backgrounds. We promote an inclusive environment, discuss diversity issues honestly, represent all people in our research and help members of the lab to accomplish their goals.

We embrace the diversity of all members. We believe that today’s diverse population is what allows teams to thrive. Diversity is an added value, providing multiple points of view both scientifically and personally. In our lab, we commit to equal treatment among the trainees and colleagues regardless of background, disability, sexual identity, race, ethnicity, immigration status, national origin, religion, socio-economic status, or medical condition. We believe that a diverse environment leads to more creative and productive work-places which helps improve our research and, in the long term, the patients.

We support increasing the representation of women and under-represented minorities in scientific research.
