Understanding peripheral nervous system pathways to prevent or reverse nerve injury

Dr. Russell's research is focused on better understanding the mechanisms that underlie neuromuscular diseases including dementia and diabetic neuropathy. He is investigating the role of mitochondrial dysfunction and the correlating effects on diabetic neuropathy. His goal is to determine effective strategies that can prevent and reverse cellular injury inducing neuropathy, which will lead to new treatment discoveries.
