 Dr. Nicolle received a doctorate in Neurobiology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1996. Over the next four years, she completed her post-doctoral training with the Department of Pharmacology at the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine in Jacksonville Florida. While there, she held the position of Assistant Professor of Molecular Neuroscience and Pharmacology from 2001-2005. On March 1, 2005, Dr. Nicolle joined Wake Forest University School of Medicine with a joint appointment as an Assistant Professor of Internal Medicine/Section on Gerontology and Geriatric Medicine and the Department of Physiology and Pharmacology. Dr. Nicolle's major aim of research is to understand the neurobiological basis of age-related cognitive decline by using a rat model of mild cognitive impairment and transgenic mouse models of neurodegenerative disease. The topic of her current R01 grant from the National Institute of Aging, deals with the contribution that oxidative stress plays in altering hippocampal signal transduction in aging.
