Molecular, cellular and developmental neurobiology
We study how axonal transport and the neuronal cytoskeleton support neuronal growth, the polarized trafficking of organelles to synapses and maintenance of axonal integrity. Our goal is to understand how these fundamental cell biological mechanisms function during normal neuronal development and maintenance, and how their breakdown leads to neurodegeneration.
