Dr. Sonntag studies this concept on the molecular and
cellular level using a translational research approach that integrates the analysis of human material, such as postmortem brains, primary cell systems, and neural cell
populations generated from patients» - or healthy individuals» -
derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC), or induced neurons (iNs), in combination with molecular, biochemistry, and lentivirus - mediated gene - engineering technologies.
