We develop platforms using genome editing tools to investigate cellular mechanisms of neurodegeneration, and develop genome editing therapeutic strategies to treat these disorders in cells and in mice. - ## Person Categories [Faculty](/person-categories/faculty) - ## Research Area [Computational biology / bioinformatics](/research-area/computational-biology-bioinformatics) [Gene regulation and transcription](/research-area/gene-regulation-and-transcription) [Genome Editing and Engineering](/research-area/genome-editing-and-engineering) [Genomics](/research-area/genomics) [Medicinal chemistry / therapeutics](/research-area/medicinal-chemistry-therapeutics) [RNA function and regulation](/research-area/rna-function-and-regulation) [Translation and ribosomes](/research-area/translation-and-ribosomes)
