Previously, Cathrine studied the clinical correlates of tau pathology in Alzheimer’s disease in the Lea T. Grinberg Lab at UCSF's Memory & Aging Center, integrating her experience in statistics and neuropathology. Cathrine graduated from UC Berkeley in December 2018 with honors in molecular and cell biology (neurobiology emphasis) and statistics. In 2018 she received the Jeffery A. Winer Memorial Prize in Neurobiology from UC Berkeley for her honors research through the Grinberg Lab.
