Research Interest
The overarching aim our research is to investigate the mechanisms that underpin tau-mediated dysfunction and degeneration in tauopathies such as Alzheimer’s disease and fronto-temporal dementia (see Mudher et al 2004, Mol Psychiatry, Chee et al 2005 for early investigations). This work led us to identify disease-modifying tau-centred therapeutic targets (See Quriase et al 2013 Mol. Psychiatry)
