Molecular Mechanisms of Neurological Disorders
Investigating receptor trafficking, synaptic regulation, and intracellular signalling pathways involved in cognitive dysfunction, neuroinflammation, and neurological disease. This line integrates molecular neuroscience and translational approaches to better understand mechanisms associated with brain dysfunction.
Evolutionary Genomics and Conserved Molecular Pathways
Exploring genes and regulatory elements that remain evolutionarily conserved across populations and species, with emphasis on molecular pathways associated with brain function, adaptation, and neurological disorders.
