About
Jaeda Coutinho-Budd is an Assistant Professor in the Neuroscience Graduate Program at the University of Virginia. Her research focuses on the cellular and molecular aspects of glial cell development and function, emphasizing the critical role of glia in supporting neuronal activities. Her lab investigates neuron-glia and glial-glial interactions throughout development and disease, aiming to define glial roles at neuronal cell bodies and their interactions with neighboring glial cells, as well as their involvement in neurodegenerative and neurodevelopmental disorders. Her work has contributed to understanding glial contributions to nervous system architecture and function, including glial refinement of neuropil architecture, synapse regulation, and glial morphogenesis. She has co-authored studies on glial tiling, immune signaling during neuronal development, and the support of neuronal survival by neurotrophins. Her research integrates disciplines such as neuroscience, glial biology, genetics, and cell biology, with a focus on neuron-glia interactions and their implications in health and disease.
