Research Interests
I am interested in understanding the genetic contributions to neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease and Multiple Sclerosis, developing biomarkers that can aid in early diagnosis and classification of neurodegenerative disorders, and elucidating gene networks involved in neuronal development and maintenance. My research employs genetic analyses in experimental models of disease that include flies and transgenic mice, and, in collaboration with clinical investigators, molecular genetic and bioinformatic analyses of human samples.
