Aric Logsdon, PhD

Assistant Professor
Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center
Lubbock, Texas

Dr. Logsdon is an Assistant Professor at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC) in the Department of Pharmacology and Neuroscience. Dr. Logsdon has committed over 15 years of research to the fields of neuroscience and cerebrovascular biology. He is motivated to elucidate the novel mechanism(s) underlying the onset and progression of neurodegenerative disease. Dr. Logsdon completed his PhD from West Virginia University with support of a pre-doctoral fellowship from the American Foundation for Pharmaceutical Education. He then completed postdoctoral training at the University of Washington with support of an NIH T32 grant from the NIA. Dr. Logsdon is now an independent Principal Investigator supported by a K22 Career Transition award from the NIA. The Logsdon lab uses preclinical models of neuroinflammation to explore the functional role(s) of brain matrix glycans on cerebrovascular function. Dr. Logsdon developed innovative mass spectrometry methods to quantify chondroitin sulfate (CS) glycosaminoglycan sulfation patterns from human brain tissue. Using these methods, he discovered CS hypersulfation in brain tissue from humans with dementia. The Logsdon lab now employs these mass spectrometry techniques to evaluate CS sulfation patterns on brain endothelial cells, and to determine the role of CS sulfation on cerebrovascular function.
