My research interests are in the pathogenesis and pathology of neurodegenerative diseases including Parkinson's (PD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD). More specifically, the interactions between PD/AD-related genetic factors and external stressors, including mitochondrial impairment, oxidative stress, proteasomal inhibition, and their involvement in protein trafficking pathways in neurodegeneration. My recent interests are to accelerate development of AD therapeutic compounds through the open development and distribution of experimental tools necessary to catalyze robust in vitro and preclinical evaluation of their potential roles in AD through the Emory-Sage-SGC TREAT-AD Center funded by NIA.
