The Pandey laboratory is interested in understanding the molecular mechanisms of human neurogenerative diseases including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and other related motor neurons diseases. The Pandey lab developed mammalian neuronal and fly models of human neurodegenerative diseases that recapitulate several key pathological features of human disease such as motor neuron degeneration, neuropathology and behavioral defects. We are utilizing our fly models to identify genetic and small molecule modifiers of motor neuron degeneration.

Research Interests

Neurodegeneration in Model Systems, Disease Models & Protein Aggregation, Disease Causing Mutations
