Expertise

Clinical Interests

Cell signaling, neuroscience, development.

Research Interests

Axon growth and guidance, synapse formation, neuronal regeneration, tyrosine phosphosphatases.


We are interested in drug discovery for axon regeneration subsequent to spinal cord and optic nerve injury. Feel free to browse our website to find out about the history of the group, current projects and lab members.

Research in the lab is focused on axon growth and guidance during development and regeneration.


High Content Screening and Functional Genomics of the Nervous System.


Our lab is interested in the signaling mechanisms underlying axonal regeneration in the central nervous system. We are also working on an axonal regeneration knowledge base that can allow automated queries by neuroscientists.
