Sara K. Custer conducts biomedical research focused on genetic and molecular disorders affecting the nervous system and muscles, including diseases where nerve cells (motoneurons) degenerate. The work involves understanding RNA (the molecule that carries genetic instructions) and how it is processed, as well as the role of mitochondria (the cell's energy producers) in disease. Studies use approaches such as animal models to investigate how nerve cells respond to injury and disease.
