研究领域

Molecular pathobiology is an emerging discipline focused on the application of the newest techniques of molecular biology to problems of pathology in the study and diagnosis of disease. My laboratory has two main research goals: (i) to identify the role of microRNA regulators of immunity in brain infections, and (ii) to increase our understanding of the mechanism of neuronal death in prion-induced neurodegeneration as a means to identify novel therapeutics and biomarkers.
