Research Summary

Understanding how interactions between genes and environmental exposure to toxicants contributes to neurodegenerative disorders


Research Statement

Currently, we are focusing on investigating how interactions between genes and environmental exposures adversely affect cognition and olfaction and elucidating underlying mechanisms including adult neurogenesis. We address these questions using animal models including humanized transgenic mouse models for Alzheimer’s disease.
