Wood, Jon - University of Sheffield - Department of Neuroscience

个人简介

I joined the department in 2001 after postdoctoral work on Huntington disease and other polyglutamine disorders at the University of Wales College of Medicine in Cardiff (1994-96) and the Laboratory of Molecular Neurobiology at the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions in Baltimore (1996-2001).

研究领域

My research is focussed on molecular mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative disorders such as ALS and neurodevelopmental pathways that confer susceptibility to psychiatric disease, with a particular interest in the role of myelinating cells in these disorders.
