My laboratory has identified major genes for NBIA, including PANK2 and PLA2G6. Our research goals are to advance understanding of disease pathogenesis in order to develop rational therapies. We seek patients with NBIA for inclusion in this research.

Our studies are approved by the OHSU IRB and are NIH funded.
