Research Summary
Dr. Huentelman's laboratory utilizes genomic technologies to better understand personalized neurological disease risk and mechanisms. An additional goal is to leverage new information to design more focused and effective therapeutic strategies. He has a particular focus on aging and diseases with a significant aging component as well as disorders that are very rare in their prevalence.
