Frontotemporal dementia and motor neuron Disease are rapidly progressive and fatal neurodegenerative diseases that affect people in their prime. Poor understanding of the processes that lead to these diseases have slowed drug development. Through innovative experimental design, we aim to decipher a novel disease mechanism that involves specific molecular interactions and translate these findings into new therapies for the diseases.

额颞叶痴呆和运动神经元疾病是一种进展迅速、致命的神经退行性疾病，影响人们的壮年时期。对导致这些疾病的过程缺乏了解，减缓了药物开发。通过创新的实验设计，我们的目标是破译一种涉及特定分子相互作用的新疾病机制，并将这些发现转化为治疗这些疾病的新疗法。
