This researcher works on gene therapy approaches for neurological diseases, particularly Parkinson's disease, using viral vectors (like AAV) to deliver therapeutic genes to the brain. Much of the work involves developing and refining surgical and imaging techniques (such as MRI-guided infusion) to precisely deliver these therapies in nonhuman primate models, aiming to translate findings toward human clinical trials.
Publication output was steady from 2017-2019 (4-5 papers/year) but declined sharply afterward, with sporadic activity and no publications in several recent years, suggesting a slowing pace over the last decade.
