Davis Lab

Albert (Gus) Davis, MD

Investigating the molecular and cellular mechanisms behind alpha-synuclein aggregation in Parkinson’s disease and dementia with Lewy bodies. Using in vitro, cell culture and in vivo models, the lab aims to uncover how toxic protein forms drive neurodegeneration and to develop better diagnostics and treatments for synucleinopathies.
