Scientific Focus
Research Interests
I am interested in the diverse ways that cells regulate their cytoskeletal systems, and how this affects processes such as intracellular transport and cell motility in normal and disease states. The development, communal behavior and long-term survival of neurons are particularly sensitive to cytoskeletal changes due to their unique morphology. I am currently investigating the pathological mechanisms of neurodegenerative and neurodevelopmental diseases at the cellular and molecular levels.
