About Us

Our lab focuses on the biology and pathology of upper motor neurons with respect to health and neurodegeneration. Ozdinler Lab is a member of Chemistry of Life Processes Institute, Les Turner ALS Center, Mesulam Center for Cognitive Neurology & Alzheimer's Disease and Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of Northwestern University. Our overall goals are to reveal the underlying causes of upper motor neuron vulnerability and to develop effective treatment strategies for diseases that affect voluntary movement.
