Research Interests:
We study mechanisms of human neurodegenerative diseases, including ALS, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's disease. We use a combination of functional genomics (e.g., CRISPR screens), human genetics to discover new disease genes, and validation in patient samples and animal models. We also seek to discover therapeutic targets and to translate these findings into developing novel therapeutics to help treat these devastating diseases.
