We are interested in using functional genomics approaches to find novel human disease genes and pathways. Our main interest is in age-related diseases involving the nervous system, including pain, neurodegeneration, and strategies to extend lifespan while preserving overall health.

From the technical perspective, we have extensive experience using whole genome CRISPR screening in human cells, and we also commonly use transgenic knock out mice or tissue-specific gene targeting in fruit flies.
