The goal of our research is to identify the fundamental mechanisms and principles that govern neuronal death and connectivity of neural circuits in the brain development and disease and to determine how these mechanisms are deregulated in neurological diseases. Currently our lab focused on the elucidation of 1) the regulation of neuron death in brain disease, 2) the intrinsic mechanisms regulating the neural development including growth cone formation and synapse function and 2) the manipulation of this intrinsic growth control pathway as a therapeutic approach to promote axon regeneration after CNS injury
