Research

Copper is an essential nutrient and key to antioxidant defenses, collagen cross-linking, and mitochondrial respiration. Among many other detrimental effects, copper deficiency causes anemia, cardiac hypertrophy and neurological dysfunction including neurodegeneration. Currently, I am studying the effect of dietary copper deficiency on neurological metabolism and signal transduction pathways, particularly how these processes are altered in the copper deficient cerebellum.
