Pablo Reina-Gonzalez
Research Interest:

My research focuses on gene-environment interactions in neurodegenerative diseases, with an emphasis on Parkinson’s Disease. My dissertation work is on elucidating a mechanism for interactions between genetic risk factors for PD and relevant environmental toxicant such as Paraquat, a widely utilized herbicide, and how this can modulate one’s risk of disease, and its progression.
