    Collapse Overview 
    Collapse overview
    Our research currently investigates the different roles of members of the selenoprotein family in brain function and neurological disorders. Selenoproteins are proteins that contain the strong antioxidant element selenium in the form of selenocysteine, 21st amino acid. We are examining the roles of these proteins in neuron physiology, synaptic plasticity, and in neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. Our ongoing research indicates that selenoproteins may be very important for synaptic development and function, and have found correlations of specific selenoproteins with neurodegenerative disorders.

    PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
