    Collapse Overview
    Our research is focused on understanding and developing therapies for neurodegenerative diseases. We are particularly interested in how alterations in mitochondrial function and chronic inflammation interact in the neurodegenerative process. Our work includes examining postmortem brain specimens from humans and animal models to identify neuropathological signatures associated with disease. We use in vitro models to dissect neuropathogenic mechanisms and test therapeutic strategies in neurons, astrocytes, and microglia. Ultimately, the goal of our work is to identify therapeutic targets and treatments that will improve clinical outcomes for people suffering from neurological disorders.

    Altmetrics Details PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication.
