Research Interests
One area of research focuses on neural development and stem cells, such as understanding cellular and molecular control of nervous system glial specification. Additional research examines myelin repair; characterizes the cellular origins of neural tumors; identifies novel therapeutic targets to control cell proliferation, death and migration of neural cells; and develops neural and non-neural stem cell approaches to modulate spinal cord injury responses.
