We focus on elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying the remodelling of neuronal connectivity, with a particular emphasis on how disease-risk genes control synaptic structure, function and trafficking of proteins to and from synaptic compartments.

 

As aberrant neuronal circuitry is a fundamental property of many neurodevelopmental disorders, understanding the mechanisms that regulate connectivity is critical in understanding of these disease as well as for the development of novel therapeutic strategies.
