Research Summary:

Neurons have a specialized morphology key to their functioning. In their life, dendrites and synapses exhibit morphological plasticity following not only a genetic intrinsic program but also external cues. Our group focuses on the functional characterization of the molecular and cellular mechanisms governing neuronal architecture in health and disease.
