Our lab seeks to understand the mechanistic basis of how oligodendrocyte lineage cells age and functionally relate this to cognitive aging, loss of regenerative capacity and neurodegenerative diseases. We primarily use mouse models and employ molecular biology, dynamic metabolic labeling tools, RNA sequencing and behavioral tests.
