Research Interests
The lab focuses on pathogenic mechanisms and therapeutic interventions for neurodegenerative diseases with a particular emphasis toward the polyglutamine disease, Spinocerebellar Ataxia type 3 (SCA3). Our work uses cell culture and transgenic mouse models as well as human tissue/biofluid samples to study these neurodegenerative diseases. We have expertise in confocal imaging, genetics, surgical intervention, gene therapy/silencing approaches, oligodendrocyte biology, and molecular and cellular biology techniques.
