About us:

We are an international, interdisciplinary team researching novel therapeutic strategies for genetic diseases such as epilepsy and Stargardt disease. To develop future therapies, understanding the molecular origins of genetic disorders is essential—including mitochondrial processes and neuroinflammation. Using molecular biology techniques such as cloning, qRT-PCR, Western blotting, immunohistochemistry, cell culture, tissue sectioning, production of adeno-associated vectors, and testing in suitable models, we aim to make genetic diseases treatable.
