Research Interests

My main research focuses on Motor Neuron Diseases (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Spinal Muscular Atrophy). I am studying the molecular changes leading to neurodegeneration in these devastating diseases, with a particular focus on metabolism. 

I am also particularly interested in inborn error of metabolism in cats and dogs and the genetics of these disorders.
