Glycogen Metabolism
We investigate factors that determine glycogen structure and function.
Our research centers on brain glycogen metabolism and related neurodegenerative diseases. We aim to advance mechanistic understanding and to probe appropriate therapeutic strategies, including state-of-the-art gene therapy.
As part of the Graduate programs NEUROSCIENCE and BIOCHEMISTRY we train students to perform rigorous research answering questions of basic science with a clear translational focus.
