Research Interests
The Bohn lab is generally interested in the application of developmental mechanisms
to neurodegenerative diseases. The present focus is on delivery of genes to
the nervous system that provide increased expression of neurotrophic factors
and/or factors that interfere with neuronal cell death. Studies are also ongoing
to determine the effects in the host brain of increased expression of a foreign
gene and to optimize methods for gene delivery to specific neurons.
