Cancer Focus
Our lab focuses on the molecular mechanisms of axon degeneration, the process that causes chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). I use both flies and mice, as well as cell culture models, to investigate how nerves respond to stress, how they degenerate, and to identify protective strategies to prevent nerve damage.
