Research interests

Our research focuses on identifying pathophysiological alterations of gene expression in neurodegeneration for the development of novel therapeutic strategies using viral and non-viral gene therapy approaches.

Widespread dysregulation of the RNA metabolism has been recognised as a key pathological component causing multiple neurodegenerative disorders, including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also known as motor neurone disease (MND, spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), Huntington鈥檚 disease (HD) and spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs). Widespread alterations of transcriptomes have also been reported during physiological ageing of the brain while many neurodegenerative disorders are progressive late adult-onset diseases.

Although some genetic causes of often-fatal neurodegenerative diseases are known, the multifactorial molecular mechanisms governing pathogenesis and progression are still poorly understood. Genome-wide studies from cell or animal models and human post-mortem brains extensively described large alterations of transcriptomes at all levels of the RNA metabolism including RNA biogenesis and processing, axonal transport and translation. Thousands of changes were reported in multiple cellular pathways with dysregulation reaching up to one third of the TDP-43 linked ALS transcriptomes. Since it is not feasible to separately investigate all individual changes, it remains challenging to distinguish alterations that are causing neurodegeneration from those which are consequences of initial RNA dysregulation 鈥 a bottleneck for the development of novel therapies.

In fact, the functional outcomes of widespread RNA dysregulation in neurodegeneration and ageing remain largely uncharacterised at the protein level, which is ultimately linked to neuronal survival or death. Beyond our investigation of altered RNA/protein expression levels and the development of neuroprotective strategies, we also aim at answering challenging scientific questions concerning RNA dysregulation in neurodegeneration and ageing: Proportion and identities of abnormally processed RNA molecules that escape the safeguarding mechanisms of nuclear retention? Which abnormal proteins are synthesised from incorrectly processed RNAs? Roles of long intergenic non-coding (linc) RNAs that exhibit similar features to protein-coding genes?

Current Projects

Research in the laboratory currently focuses on the mechanisms of neurodegeneration and the identification of therapeutic strategies of neuroprotection in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and Fragile X Tremor and Ataxia Syndrome (FXTAS). In particular, we aim to identify RNA changes that cause neurodegeneration and understand whether these involve converging mechanisms of altered RNA metabolism in different variants of diseases. We are also interested in investigating how these relate to sporadic ALS.

We use a combination of in vitro and in vivo models of diseases (mammalian cells, patient-derived neurons and astrocytes, Drosophila and mice) as well as molecular & cellular biology, biochemistry, structural/functional and OMICS investigations in association with the development of novel experimental methodologies to uncover molecular mechanisms of gene expression that cause and can rescue the neurodegeneration process.

  • Generation of non-neuronal and neuron-like inducible cell models of neurodegeneration to characterise early changes in gene expression and spread of dysregulation over time, in combination with studies in animal models and in astrocytes and motor neurons differentiated from induced neuronal progenitor cells (iNPCs) derived from patient fibroblasts. Whenever possible, we try validating our in vitro and in vivo results in human post mortem CNS tissues. We have access to one of the world largest collection of brain biosamples (91直播 Brain Tissue Bank).
  • Functional and structural studies to identify the molecular mechanisms driving the nuclear export and the repeat-associated non-AUG (RAN) translation in C9ORF72-ALS/FTD and FXTAS
  • Molecular mechanisms of TDP-43 proteinopathy, which involves the nuclear loss and cytoplasmic aggregation of TDP-43.
  • Functional analysis of the master energy homeostasis co-transcriptional activator PGC-1alpha in neuronal ageing and models of senescence.
  • Genome-wide identification of transcriptomes and translatomes.
  • Founding Director of Crucible Therapeutics, a University of 91直播 biotech spinout company, developing novel therapeutic strategies of neuroprotection. Our technology involves granted patents and new applications for the use of gene therapy approaches in the potential treatment of neurodegenerative disorders - with a current focus on C9ORF72-ALS/FTD.
