Project Overview

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) are devastating diseases in which a protein called TDP-43 ends up in the wrong part of the cell, disrupting its normal role in managing RNA. This loss of TDP-43 function leads to problems with another protein, G3BP1, which is needed for cells…

Project Overview

Contribution of stress-associated neurovascular alterations in Parkinson’s disease and high rates of depression Parkinson’s disease (PD) is well known for its motor symptoms, but depression and anxiety affect up to half of patients and often appear years before diagnosis. This project will investigate how chronic stress and a key PD…

Project Overview

Investigating the role of EPG5 in Parkinson’s Disease pathogenesis Parkinson’s disease (PD) causes both motor symptoms, like tremors and stiffness, and non-motor issues such as cognitive decline, but its underlying causes are still not fully understood. This project focuses on a PD-associated gene called EPG5 that is essential for autophagy,…
