Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying aging and neurodegenerative disorders.
Our research focuses on the pivotal role of aging as a primary risk factor for neurodegenerative conditions such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases. Studies in our lab delve into the multifaceted impact of aging on oxidative stress and its consequential DNA damage, protein aggregates, alterations in the gut environment, and the intricate interplay with the microbiome.
Through a comprehensive exploration of these interconnected factors, we aim to unravel the mechanisms through which aging contributes to neurodegeneration, paving the way for a more profound understanding of these debilitating conditions.
