Focused on elucidating the molecular mechanism of neurodegenerative disease including Huntington’s and ALS/FTLD Disease using non-human primate and mouse models, such as the function of neuronal and non-neuronal aging-associated gene on misfolded proteins degradation; comparation analysis of the pathological mechanism and evaluation of therapeutic effect of potential chemical during species.
