Many neurodegenerative disorders have a genetic etiology or are complex disorders caused by an interaction between environmental and inherited factors. In our research group we focus on the clinical and genetic aspects of inherited peripheral neuropathies and inherited epilepsy syndromes. The clinical, electrophysiological and neuropathological characterization of patients affected by these disorders forms the starting point for molecular ...

The Lab focuses on the identification and characterization of disease-causing genes and pathways implicated in the molecular etiology of neurological disorders, like inherited peripheral neuropathies (CMT) and inherited epilepsies. For this purpose we use two major research strategies: - unraveling the role of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases in peripheral neurodegeneration as a tool for understanding the molecular pathomechanisms of peripheral ...
