Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI am part of the wormsense lab where we study the molecular and biophysical mechanisms endowing sensory neurons with the capacity to perceive mechanical and thermal stimuli. I study the mechanisms involved in the regulation of degeneration and regeneration of sensory endings. Using genetics, in vivo imaging, electrophysiology and behavioral assays in C.elegans I screen for small molecules that restore touch sensation following chemotherapy and I validate their therapeutic potential in mice.
