Research Interest

As a researcher, the major goal of my interest research is to identify key mechanisms and principles that govern the establishment of neuronal connectivity, neuroprotection against stress and/or aggregate protein (neurodegeneration) and human Glioblastoma (Cancer). The morphogenesis and differentiation of axons, dendrites, and synapses represent critical events that orchestrate neuronal connectivity in the brain and Spinal Cord.
