Andreea C. Bostan, PhD

Dr. Andreea C. Bostan is a research assistant professor in the Department of Neurobiology at the University of Pittsburgh. She is also the project manager for Team Strick as part of the Aligning Science Across Parkinson’s initiative.

A graduate of the University of Toronto, she received her doctorate in Neuroscience from the University of Pittsburgh. Andreea uses neurotropic viruses as transneuronal tracers. Her work has established that the cerebellum and basal ganglia are interconnected and form an integrated network with the cerebral cortex. She is particularly interested in how changes in this integrated network, which links the cerebellum with the basal ganglia and the cerebral cortex, contribute to the manifestation of neurologic and psychiatric disorders.
