Harlan Jones

Harlan Jones is a Senior Professor at the University of North Texas Health Science Center. His research integrates immunology, neuroscience, and tumor biology to investigate how biological stress pathways and social determinants drive health disparities, particularly in cancer and Alzheimer’s disease. Recent work includes epigenomic analyses of racial disparities in Alzheimer’s outcomes, APOE epistasis, and the role of N-acetyl transferase 9 in cholangiocarcinoma progression. He also examines sex-specific brain miRNA expression following placental ischemia and the intersection of religiosity with cognitive impairment. His publications span venues such as the *International Journal of Molecular Sciences*, *Alzheimer's & Dementia*, and *Cancer Research*, reflecting his focus on translational health equity research.
