Research Interests
My laboratory investigates molecular processes that cause age-dependent neurodegeneration in various diseases. We seek to utilize this information to protect the nervous system from inherited mutant proteins that accumulate over time and lead to cell death.
Area of Expertise is in Neurodegeneration, Protein Quality Control and Genetics
Disease/Disorder
Spinocerebellar Ataxias, Kennedy’s Disease, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s
Species
Drosophila melanogaster, mammalian cell culture, post-mortem rodent and human tissue
Methods
Genetics, protein biochemistry, in vitro biochemistry reactions, fly and cell imaging, some electropnhysiology
Key Collaborators
R. J. Wessells (WSU), Aloke Dutta (WSU), Peter LeWitt (WSU), Andrew Lieberman (U Mich), Carmo Costa (U Mich), Diane Merry (Thomas Jefferson Univ.)
