Peter Davies, Ph.D.
Professional Interests
The lab works on mechanisms important for the development of Alzheimer's disease, using a wide variety of biochemical, cell biological and molecular tools. Much of the current work is focused on human brain tissues, although transgenic mouse and cell culture models of specific aspects of the pathology are also examined.
