Biography

My lab is interested in exploring disease mechanisms in neurodegenerative diseases such as motor neurone disease and Alzheimer's. Our focus is on understanding how environmental impacts and genetic risk can lead to disease, and we use cell and in vivo models to try to understand how these factors can interact in different cell populations. We are also focused on using our models to try to develop and validate potential new therapeutic approaches for these diseases.
