Thesis: The Role of Neuronal Cholesterol Homeostasis in Synaptic Plasticity
THE PERSON BEHIND THE SCIENCE
Curiosity across
disciplines & borders.
I’m Stanley C. Ibeh, a postdoctoral researcher in biochemistry focused on neuroscience and the mechanisms of lipid regulation of synaptic plasticity.
MY RESEARCH JOURNEY
Understanding brain health,
one connection at a time.
My doctoral research at Dalhousie University focused on the role of neuronal cholesterol homeostasis in synaptic plasticity. I investigated how changes in cholesterol affect dendritic spine remodeling and synaptic function in hippocampal neurons.
Previously, at the American University of Beirut, I studied how a high-fat diet influences the outcomes of traumatic brain injury. These experiences shaped my interest in the intersection of metabolism and neurological health.
Alongside research, I have taught biochemistry laboratory courses, mentored undergraduate researchers, and contributed to scientific and community service.
