Stem cells and Neurodegenerative diseases
Summary
The main focus of our laboratory is to study basic biological aspects underlying neurodegenerative diseases with complex genetic etiologies, such as Parkinson’s disease, as well as inherited metabolic brain diseases. We apply human reprogramming technologies , mainly induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) together with gene editing technology, to develop the next generation of human disease models. By combining basic cellular neuroscience approaches with sequencing-based data biology, the goal of our laboratory is to identify the key molecular drivers of Parkinson's disease to enable the development of diagnostic tools and novel therapeutics approaches for this and other neurodegenerative diseases.
