Our Research
-
The Chavez Lab is dedicated to building innovative technologies to better understand the molecular basis of neurologic disease with the ultimate goal of developing novel therapeutics.
-
The Mentis Lab aims to uncover the cellular and neural circuits mechanisms involved in spinal motor control, and how neuronal dysfunction leads to deficits observed in neurodegenerative diseases.
-
Our research aims to unravel the molecular basis of neurodegeneration and devise therapeutic strategies to hamper the processes that cause neuronal death, the source of many debilitating disorders.
