Daniel Goldowitz
Professor

Dr. Goldowitz's research interest is in how genetic information that control early development of the nervous system can cause neurodegenerative disease and brain disorders in children and adults. A major focus of his work is the application of molecular and bioinformatic technologies to study the entire gene regulatory network of the cerebellum, which is an area of the brain that is linked to autism, schizophrenia, mental retardation, and other brain disorders.
