Research summary
AI-generated

This researcher studies the nervous system at the cellular and molecular level, with a focus on inherited nerve diseases (such as hereditary motor neuropathies) and how disruptions in cell structures like the endoplasmic reticulum lead to nerve cell degeneration. The work also spans nerve-signaling molecules (endocannabinoids), pain mechanisms, and tissue analysis of nerve biopsies. Studies combine mouse models, molecular biology, and clinical/pathological examination of patient samples.

Collaborators per year
Distinct co-authors at Indiana University each year — a rough indication of whether the group around this researcher has been growing or contracting. An estimate from co-authorship, not a roster: collaborators are not necessarily lab members, and recent years can be under-counted while indexing catches up.
