Rossignol Research Members
Learn about the current and past lab members of the Rossignol Lab.
Julien Rossignol
Principal Investigator
Julien
grew up in France. He holds degrees in cell biology, biochemistry,
molecular biology, biophysics and neuroscience from the University of
Nantes and the University of Orleans in France. As a faculty member in
the Covenant HealthCare College of Medicine at Central Michigan University, Julien leads a team of undergraduate and
graduate students and medical students working to deliver cell therapy
and genomic editing to the brain through human-made dendrimer molecules.
The approach could apply to treatment for conditions such as stroke,
glioblastoma, Alzheimer’s and Huntington’s disease.

Bhairavi Srinageshwar
Research Associate
Bhairavi grew up in Chennai, India. She received her bachelor’s degree in genetic engineering from SRM University, Chennai and completed a one-year research/work experience in the Clinical Genetics lab at Christian Medical College, Vellore. Bhairavi is currently working on dendrimer based gene and drug delivery for Huntington’s disease, glioblastoma multiforme and stroke.
Nadia Allahyarzadeh
Graduate Student
Nadia
grew up in Iran. She received her bachelor's degree in cellular and
molecular science, biotechnology from Higher Education Institute of
Rab-Rashid, Iran. She also received her master’s degree in cellular and
molecular science, genetics from the Islamic Azad University of Tabriz,
Iran. She is currently a doctoral student in neuroscience at Central
Michigan University. Nadia is currently working on dendrimer-based gene
and drug delivery for glioblastoma.
David Doyle
Graduate Student
David
grew up in Linden, Michigan. He received a bachelor's degree in biology
from Palm Beach Atlantic University in 2018 and matriculated at the Covenant HealthCare College of Medicine at Central Michigan University in 2020. He is currently
pursuing a doctoral degree in neuroscience, with a specific focus on
Huntington's disease and the use of GM1 ganglioside. He also works on
projects related to aging and progesterone.
Osheen Dubey
Graduate Student
Osheen
grew up in Gwalior, India. She has a master’s degree in industrial
microbiology and a bachelor’s degree in zoology, botany and chemistry
from India. She is currently a graduate student in the biochemistry,
cell and molecular biology program. She is working on the effectiveness
of dendrimer-based siRNA delivery in cells in comparison to RNAimax
siRNA delivery to knock down specific genes.

Lucas Garmo
Graduate Student
Lucas
is from Farmington Hills, Michigan. He received a bachelor's degree in
psychology from Wayne State University in 2019 and matriculated at the Covenant HealthCare College of Medicine at Central Michigan University in 2021. He is
currently pursuing a doctoral degree in neuroscience with a specific
research interest in the optimization of certain treatment delivery
systems within neuroinflammatory conditions. His current investigations
include the delivery of treatments using dendrimer nanoparticles
utilizing models of both spinal cord injury and glioblastoma.

Negin Mojarradlangroudi
Graduate Student
Negin
grew up in Iran and has completed both a bachelor’s degree in
anesthesia nursing and a Master of Science in Physiology from the Iran
University of Medical Sciences in Tehran. She has conducted research on
spinal cord injuries and neuropathic pain at the Physiology Research
Center at Iran University of Medical Sciences. In addition to her
academic achievements, Negin has worked as a nurse anesthetist in
hospitals for five years and passed a two-year internship at the Chronic
Respiratory Diseases Research Center at Shahid Beheshti University of
Medical Sciences. Currently, Negin is working on combinational
treatments for spinal cord injury, Alzheimer's disease and
neurodegenerative diseases.

Arjun Poudel
Graduate Student
Arjun
grew up in Nawalparasi, Nepal. He received his bachelor's degree in
physical therapy from Rajiv Gandhi University of Health and Sciences in
Bangalore, India. After working as a physical therapist he came to
Central Michigan University to receive his master's degree in health
services administration and is currently a graduate student in
neuroscience. Arjun is currently working with other graduate students on
their projects with stroke and dendrimer nanomolecules.

Claire Noe
Undergraduate Student
Claire
grew up in Grand Blanc, Michigan. She is an undergraduate student
pursuing a double major in neuroscience and psychology. She is currently
involved in research focused on using gene therapy and dendrimer
nanomolecules for the treatment of glioblastoma.

Sara Schwind
Undergraduate Student
Sara
grew up in Saginaw, Michigan. She is a junior at Central Michigan
University with a double major in neuroscience and psychology. She is
currently involved in research focused on enhancing recovery after
stroke.
