My research focuses on understanding pathobiological mechanisms in acute and chronic neurodegenerative conditions such as stroke and Parkinson’s disease which have large burdens on the community through health care costs and on families because of the lack of effective treatments. An improved understanding of how brain cells die and of how the most abundant brain cell, the astrocyte, can be engineered to be a resource for regenerative medicine offer promise for improved clinical management.

我的研究重点是了解急性和慢性神经退行性疾病（如中风和帕金森病）的病理生物学机制，这些疾病通过医疗保健费用对社区和家庭造成巨大负担，因为缺乏有效的治疗方法。对脑细胞如何死亡以及最丰富的脑细胞星形胶质细胞如何被改造成再生医学资源的更好理解为改善临床管理提供了希望。
