Research summary

This researcher studies spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), a genetic disease affecting motor neurons and muscle function, focusing on the genetics of the SMN1 and SMN2 genes, diagnostic testing methods (including digital PCR and genome sequencing approaches), and potential drug treatments such as histone deacetylase inhibitors and butyrate-based compounds. Work spans basic genetics, mouse model studies, and translational efforts to develop and test therapeutic compounds for SMA.
