Research Profile
The focus of my lab is to improve the characterization and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases by studying naturally occurring large animal models of human diseases. My lab develops and evaluates experimental therapies including gene therapy, cell-based therapy, and pharmacotherapy in canine and feline models, and develops and validates ante mortem biochemical and magnetic resonance markers of disease severity and progression. My emphasis is to build bridges between biomedical sciences, government, pharmaceutical industries, and the FDA in order to bring new therapies to patients.
