Seminar details

Rousseaux's lab seeks to understand the molecular mechanisms that underlie the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease (PD) and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). With a focus on toxic protein mislocalization, the lab employs next generation screening technologies coupled to animal modeling to better understand the cause of protein mislocalization. Our ultimate goal is to help the patient population by identifying new therapeutic avenues for these disorders.

Hosted by Dr. Pierre Mattar
