Research<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Maintaining health and reducing disease-risk requires the brain to properly transduce signals across specialized regions and cell types. My lab utilizes mouse models, neural cultures, human brain samples, single-cell transcriptomics, proteomics, and microscopy to probe the molecular mechanisms that
\nunderlie aging and neurodegeneration. Ultimately, we aim to identify therapeutic targets for diseases like Alzheimer\u2019s and Parkinson\u2019s.<\/p>\n
