Cellular Mechanisms Underlying Neurodegenerative disease and the neuronal response to trauma

脑和脊髓损伤是死亡和残疾的主要原因，退行性疾病同样影响着大部分人口。我的研究计划的唯一目标是增加我们对神经细胞对创伤和疾病（如阿尔茨海默氏症和帕金森氏症）做出反应的分子和细胞过程的理解，并确定旨在鼓励修复受损细胞的新治疗方法。

Brain and spinal cord injury are major causes of death and disability, with degenerative diseases similarly affecting large proportions of the population. The singular objective of my research proposal is to increase our understanding of the molecular and cellular processes by which nerve cells respond to trauma and diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, and to identify new therapeutic approaches aimed at encouraging the repair of damaged cells.
