Biography

Research Interests: Synaptic aging, neuromuscular junction, motor neuron–glial cell interaction, Alzheimer’s Disease. 

My research uses the neuromuscular junction as a model synapse. We are focused on discovering pathways and factors that function to preserve and restore the function
of the nervous system and skeletal muscles during normal aging and in age-related diseases.
