Research Interest:
Advances in understanding the biology of neurotrophic factors and their
signaling pathways have provided important insights into the normal
growth, differentiation and maintenance of neurons. Stimulated by neuropathological
observations and genetic discoveries, studies in cell and animal models
of neurodegenerative disorders have begun to clarify pathogenetic mechanisms
of disease. My lab examines the intersection of these research themes,
and identifies several potential mechanisms for linking failed neurotrophic
factor signaling to neurodegeneration. |
