Research Interests:
My long term research interests have been centered on elucidating mechanisms of neurodegeneration. My active research is focused on determining the cause of Canine Dysautonomia, a disease that causes acute neurodegeneration with a high fatality rate. We are supported by a grant from the American Kennel Club and by generous donors.
I have been the Departmental Head since 2019. Please contact me if you have any questions about the department or my research.
