Neurodegeneration
Weihl Lab
Conrad Weihl, MD, PhD
The Weihl lab's goal is to understand the molecular mechanisms of protein inclusion formation, disaggregation and clearance in myodegenerative (skeletal muscle) and neurodegenerative diseases.
Zhao Lab
Guoyan Zhao, PhD
Department of Genetics
The Zhao lab integrates multiple cutting-edge computational and experimental approaches to study gene transcriptional regulation in the nervous system and how changes in the regulation contribute to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Parkinson disease (PD) and Lewy body diseases (LBDs).
