Joined the University in 2013 as Professor of Biological Sciences and SmartState Endowed Chair in Childhood Neurotherapeutics. His laboratory aims to understand the cellular and molecular mechanisms of axon growth and regeneration. The ultimate goal of their work is to uncover new strategies to encourage neural repair. They use rodent and cell culture models of neural development and injury, applying molecular, cellular, and biochemical approaches to dissect axon growth mechanisms.
