We aim to understand the causes of ALS/MND and frontotemporal dementia, to help find cures for disease

Our lab uses cutting-edge biochemistry, imaging, genetic model systems and pathology studies to investigate the molecular causes of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)/motor neuron disease (MND) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD).

Our goal is to find new ways to prevent, treat, and cure these devastating diseases.

Join us!

We research molecular mechanisms and potential treatments for ALS/MND and FTD, using CRISPR, transgenic mice, AAVs and lentiviruses, neuronal cell cultures, human tissues, advanced microscopy and protein/RNA biochemical analyses.

We are happy to discuss opportunities with potential rotation, winter/summer, Honours, Masters, and PhD students with an interest in molecular biology, cell biology and neuroscience.
