RNAs found in the brain using
microarray technology. She
studies abnormal expression
of RNA in tissue from people
at high risk or currently
suffering from Alzheimer's
disease. She is working to
identify novel brain chemicals
that can become treatment
targets for new drugs.
research is to investigate
the signaling pathways in
myeloproliferative diseases
--a group of conditions that
cause blood cells to grow
abnormally in the bone
marrow--over the course of
the disease. Understanding
these mechanisms could
allow for the development of
more efficacious and better-
targeted therapies.

for patients with psychiatric
disease. These tests will be
used to diagnose and follow
patients over time to see
whether the treatments help
in improving symptoms.

the field of sleep medicine.
Recent work has focused
on the cardiovascular
pathophysiology of sleep
apnea and intermittent
hypoxia, assessing functional
outcomes of sleep apnea
therapy and on developing
novel diagnostic and
screening modalities for
sleep-disordered breathing.
