Pathophysiology of Parkinson’s disease.
Cellular to network mechanisms of olfaction and olfactory dysfunction in diseases including Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s disease, traumatic or neurotoxic brain injuries.
Research focuses on cellular and molecular mechanisms of neurodegeneration, identifying novel immunomodulatory drugs, discovering biomarkers for diabetes, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases related dementia.
Research focuses on cellular and molecular mechanisms of neurodegeneration, identifying novel druggable targets, discovering prodromal biomarkers and novel reengineered gut microbiome based therapeutics for treatment of neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases and related dementia.
