| Research in the D'Arcangelo Lab focuses on understanding the basic mechanisms that govern brain development, including the formation of dendritic spines and synaptogenesis. The lab studies these mechanisms through the application of in vivo and in vitro techniques, using genetically modified mice as model systems. |
| We hope to apply this knowledge towards the development of better treatments for human neurological disorders. |
| Currently, the three major projects being pursued in the lab are: |
| 1. The function of reelin in brain development |
| 2. The phosphotidyinositol pathway in human cortical dysplasia |
| 3. The role of Dyrk1A in neurogenesis and differentiation |
