Research Interests:
My research focuses on molecular and cellular mechanisms of glia-neuron interactions during embryogenesis and in the adult brain. Our model system is fruit fly Drosophila Melanogaster. We study glial contribution to normal brain development and aging. We also study the role of glia in Drosophila models of neurodegenerative diseases.
