Research interests

Research area: Our goal is to understand the genetic and molecular programs that enable motor axons to extend to the correct muscles during normal development and in motoneuron diseases. In particular, we focus on tow motoneuron diseases spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) and amyolateral sclerosis (ALS) and use genetic and molecular approaches to understand the biology of these diseases. We use zebrafish as a vertebrate model organism due to its well characterized nervous system and its relatively simple neuromuscular organization.
