Background
Ray joined the CTE Center in 2016 after completing his graduate studies in Neuroscience at Brandeis University in Waltham, Massachusetts.
Ray is the Senior Neuropathology Research Fellow at the renowned CTE Center at Boston University. In this pivotal role, he performs the meticulous intake and processing of cases, significantly advancing our understanding of neuropathological conditions.
What sets Ray apart is not just his technical expertise but also his passion for education. Driven by this commitment, he engages in health education pursuits such as guest lecturing and outreach programs. His innovative approach extends to creating live interactive virtual brain cuttings, providing a unique and immersive learning experience.
Research Interests
Ray is interested in the molecular underpinnings of neurodegenerative diseases, particularly the long-term sequelae that lead to clinical presentation and pathology. He is also interested in the clinicopathological correlations in chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) to identify potential risk factors for CTE and to better determine the clinical and neuropathological progression of the disease.
