My laboratory has a long-standing interest in understanding molecular mechanisms that facilitate synaptic function and plasticity, and mechanisms that protect synapses from neurodegeneration. We pursue these goals by undertaking a multidisciplinary approach using genetically modified Drosophila as a model system.
