Postdoctoral fellow

I am interested in mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative diseases in juveniles and in an aging population. Drosophila is an ideal model system to test potential disease genes and to define degenerative effects in a tissue-specific manner. My research focuses on defining cellular/molecular mechanisms underlying these effects. Drugs targeting defined pathways can further be tested in Drosophila, aiding in the development of potential therapies for patients.
