  • 2015 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

Edward H. Koo is affiliated with the University of California, San Diego in the United States. Their research focuses on medicine, with significant contributions in biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology. The main subfields within their work encompass physiology, molecular biology, psychiatry and mental health, cellular and molecular neuroscience, and pharmacology.

The scientist's research primarily addresses topics such as Alzheimer's disease research and treatments, neuroscience and neuropharmacology research, dementia and cognitive impairment research, cholinesterase and neurodegenerative diseases, cellular transport and secretion, multiple myeloma research and treatments, and protein degradation and inhibitors.

Frequent venues for publication include bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Cell Reports, Acta Neuropathologica Communications, Scientific Reports, and Alzheimer's & Dementia.

Notable recent papers include:

  • World-Wide FINGERS Network: A global approach to risk reduction and prevention of dementia, 2020, Alzheimer's & Dementia
  • Caspase Activation and Caspase-Mediated Cleavage of APP Is Associated with Amyloid β-Protein-Induced Synapse Loss in Alzheimer's Disease, 2020, Cell Reports
  • Presymptomatic Increase of an Extracellular RNA in Blood Plasma Associates with the Development of Alzheimer's Disease, 2020, Current Biology
  • Dysfunction in nonsense-mediated decay, protein homeostasis, mitochondrial function, and brain connectivity in ALS-FUS mice with cognitive deficits, 2021, Acta Neuropathologica Communications
  • SINgapore GERiatric intervention study to reduce physical frailty and cognitive decline (SINGER)-pilot: A feasibility study, 2021, Alzheimer's & Dementia Translational Research & Clinical Interventions

Edward H. Koo has collaborated regularly with several co-authors, including Christopher Chen, Sheue-Houy Tyan, Stefan Kins, Effie Chew, and Christiani Jeyakumar Henry.

In 2015, the scientist was awarded the distinction of Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).
