SummaryThis group engages in advanced research in regenerative neuroscience from the molecular to cell biological and integrative levels. A key research goal is to understand the mechanisms underlying the guidance of nerve growth in the developing and regenerating nervous system. Within this theme, specific topics under investigation include molecular analysis of receptors and signal transduction mechanisms; axon guidance, target recognition and regeneration; and the formation and plasticity of synapses. Related topics under investigation are the regulation of glioma cell motility and mechanisms controlling vascular development and regeneration. The lab offers an integrated approach to studies in modern neurobiology, utilizing molecular, biochemical and cell biological techniques as well as advanced optical imaging of genetically encoded biosensors. Members of the lab work closely with the Spinal Cord Injury team at Mayo as well as the Mayo Cancer Center. Recent publicationsSee a listing of my publications Education
