The main focus of my research work is
to develop new models to study neurodegenerative diseases such as ataxias that
are caused by dysfunction of the cerebellum. For this purpose, I am generating
cultures of cerebellar neurons from control and disease human iPS cells, which
will be used for studying specific pathways involved in disease development.
Once we know these pathways, we can manipulate them for developing new
therapeutic strategies.
The regenerative medicine revolution is upon us. Like iron and steel to the industrial revolution, like the microchip to the tech revolution, stem cells will be the driving force of this next revolution.
