Roxana Carare is a medically qualified Associate Professor in anatomy and experimental neuropathology in the University of Southampton. Having graduated in general medicine in 1994 in Bucharest, Roxana completed her PhD in experimental neuropathology in 2006, in the University of Southampton, UK. The main international recognition for Roxana Carare has come from the neuroanatomy and neuropathology interdisciplinary research she leads, demonstrating the unique lymphatic drainage pathways by which fluid and soluble amyloid are eliminated from the brain along basement membranes within the walls of cerebral capillaries and arteries

The major aims of the research led by Dr Carare are: {1] To determine why elimination of Amyloid-β (Aβ) from the brain fails with age and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) {2] To translate the basic science in [1} above into therapies that facilitate the elimination of Aβ for the prevention and treatment of AD
