Courtney Glavis-Bloom
Cient\u00edfico Principal del Personal, Laboratorio Reynolds<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nPrimeros a\u00f1os<\/h2>\n
En su adolescencia, Glavis-Bloom, del vecindario de Scripps Ranch en San Diego, equilibraba una carrera competitiva en softball con su rol de presidenta del equipo de ciencias en la Escuela Secundaria La Jolla. Su talento como lanzadora la llev\u00f3 a ser reclutada para el equipo de softball de la Universidad de Yale. Sin embargo, poco despu\u00e9s de su llegada, sufri\u00f3 una lesi\u00f3n en la mu\u00f1eca que puso fin a su carrera.<\/p>\n
\u201cAunque al principio la lesi\u00f3n me devast\u00f3, fue una bendici\u00f3n disfrazada\u201d, comenta Glavis-Bloom. \u201cSol\u00eda tener pr\u00e1ctica de s\u00f3ftbol dos veces al d\u00eda, y los cursos que pod\u00eda tomar eran limitados debido a mi horario. Despu\u00e9s de la lesi\u00f3n, pude tomar m\u00e1s cursos de ciencias y trabajar en tres laboratorios de ciencias diferentes simult\u00e1neamente\u201d.\u201d<\/p>\n
Camino a Salk<\/h2>\n
En Yale, Glavis-Bloom inicialmente ten\u00eda la intenci\u00f3n de convertirse en veterinaria. Sin embargo, el estudio del cerebro ofreci\u00f3 otra v\u00eda emocionante, y Glavis-Bloom cambi\u00f3 sus estudios para enfocarse en neurociencia.<\/p>\n
\u201cEl cerebro es resiliente y est\u00e1 lleno de c\u00e9lulas que nos duran toda la vida\u201d, dice. \u201cCuanto m\u00e1s lo pensaba, m\u00e1s me fascinaba aprender sobre el cerebro y la cognici\u00f3n en el envejecimiento\u201d.\u201d<\/p>\n
Durante su doctorado en neurociencia y comportamiento animal en la Universidad de Emory, Glavis-Bloom estudi\u00f3 un centro de la memoria del cerebro llamado hipocampo y c\u00f3mo el cerebro se compensa cuando esta regi\u00f3n sufre una lesi\u00f3n. Quer\u00eda entender por qu\u00e9 el cerebro puede adaptarse a las lesiones a principios de la vida, pero no puede compensar lo suficiente en la vejez o en enfermedades neurodegenerativas relacionadas con la edad, como el Alzheimer. Su trabajo la llev\u00f3 a algunos puestos no acad\u00e9micos donde examin\u00f3 c\u00f3mo las terapias potenciales podr\u00edan ayudar a la cognici\u00f3n en cerebros sanos y en aquellos con degeneraci\u00f3n por Alzheimer.<\/p>\n
En 2018, un equipo multidisciplinario de investigadores de Salk, incluido Reynolds, recibi\u00f3 $19.2 millones durante ocho a\u00f1os de la American Heart Association-Allen Initiative para estudiar el envejecimiento y por qu\u00e9 el proceso es el principal factor de riesgo para las enfermedades neurodegenerativas. Era natural que Glavis-Bloom se uniera al equipo de Reynolds como cient\u00edfica de planta para examinar el deterioro cognitivo relacionado con la edad a lo largo de la vida.<\/p>\n
\u201cEl esp\u00edritu colaborativo de la comunidad Salk me atrajo\u201d, dice Glavis-Bloom. \u201cY unirme al laboratorio de Reynolds fue una combinaci\u00f3n perfecta para poder estudiar la cognici\u00f3n, as\u00ed como los factores que ocurren durante el envejecimiento y que conducen a la neurodegeneraci\u00f3n\u201d.\u201d<\/p>\n
Investigaci\u00f3n en Salk<\/h2>\n
En Salk, Glavis-Bloom est\u00e1 estudiando el envejecimiento en m\u00faltiples momentos para comprender mejor la cognici\u00f3n en el envejecimiento normal, lo que puede ayudar a informar sobre los estados de enfermedades relacionadas con la edad. Adem\u00e1s de dise\u00f1ar e implementar pruebas cognitivas que detectan cambios cerebrales con el envejecimiento, Glavis-Bloom est\u00e1 trabajando con el laboratorio del Profesor Rusty Gage para transformar c\u00e9lulas de muestras de piel en neuronas y observar c\u00f3mo cambian con la edad. Tambi\u00e9n est\u00e1n utilizando t\u00e9cnicas de imagen de alta potencia para observar c\u00f3mo se comunican las neuronas en varias etapas a lo largo de la vida.<\/p>\n
\u201cSi no entendemos el envejecimiento normal, entonces no podemos tratar los trastornos relacionados con la edad\u201d, dice. \u201cQueremos averiguar cu\u00e1les son los fundamentos celulares y biol\u00f3gicos normales del envejecimiento y el deterioro cognitivo\u201d.\u201d<\/p>\n
D\u00eda a d\u00eda<\/h2>\n
Aunque su agenda diaria est\u00e1 llena de experimentos y redacci\u00f3n de art\u00edculos cient\u00edficos, Glavis-Bloom tambi\u00e9n dedica tiempo a asesorar a aspirantes a cient\u00edficos de su laboratorio y del Instituto Kavli para el Cerebro y la Mente, en Salk y la UC San Diego.<\/p>\n
\u201cMe resulta incre\u00edblemente gratificante poder ser mentora y ense\u00f1ar mientras persigo mis propios objetivos cient\u00edficos\u201d, dice. \u201cEl objetivo final es combinar el avance de la ciencia con el crecimiento de la pr\u00f3xima generaci\u00f3n de cient\u00edficos. Las ideas que surgen de las conversaciones con mis mentorados son genuinas y a menudo impulsan nuestra ciencia en direcciones nuevas y emocionantes\u201d.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dato curioso<\/h2>\n
Glavis-Bloom sue\u00f1a con tener una librer\u00eda que se especialice en neurociencia y libros de ciencia general para ayudar a que la ciencia sea accesible para todos.<\/p>\n
Tiempo libre<\/h2>\n
Aunque todav\u00eda juega un poco de s\u00f3ftbol por diversi\u00f3n, Glavis-Bloom ahora pasa la mayor parte de su tiempo libre conviviendo con sus dos hijos, Emma y Wyatt. Tambi\u00e9n le encanta la jardiner\u00eda; bancales elevados bordean su patio trasero, donde su familia se esfuerza por cultivar gran parte de lo que comen.<\/p>\n
Visi\u00f3n a largo plazo\/Proyectos futuros<\/h2>\n
\u201cCreo que hay esperanza para los campos de investigaci\u00f3n sobre el envejecimiento y el Alzheimer. Estos problemas no son irresolubles, pero s\u00ed de los m\u00e1s dif\u00edciles en medicina\u201d, afirma Glavis-Bloom. \u201cCreo que se necesitar\u00e1 investigaci\u00f3n colaborativa a gran escala para lograr avances significativos\u201d. Ella espera que se descubra una cura para el Alzheimer y est\u00e9 disponible para la pr\u00f3xima generaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n
