The Cumming Lab supports undergraduate, masters, doctoral, and post-doctoral student research encompassing various aspects of brain metabolism, antioxidant response, aging and pathogenic mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases.

I encourage all trainees to present their research results at national and international conferences. In 2016 we attended the Society for Neuroscience conference in San Diego, CA.
