Lab Philosophy

Our mission is to advance our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying Parkinson’s disease and other neurodegenerative diseases. We do this by prioritizing scientific rigor, collaboration, and each other.

We strive to make discoveries that lead to novel therapies in order to improve the quality of life for the millions of people worldwide affected by neurodegenerative diseases. Ultimately, we want to contribute to disease-modifying therapies that make neurodegeneration a thing of the past.
