Pitceathly Research Group

Our laboratory focuses on three major research themes that crosscut mitochondrial biology and translational science.

Neural Circuits Movement Laboratory
neurons

Neural Circuits Movement Laboratory

We aim to understand how the brain and spinal cord work together to ensure that the intended movement accomplishes the task at hand.

Sleigh Group

The Sleigh Lab works to understand mechanisms underlying hereditary peripheral nerve conditions.

The Neurogenetics Lab (Houlden Group)
lab group

The Neurogenetics Lab (Houlden Group)

We focus on neurodegeneration, peripheral nerve disease, ataxias, and movement disorders, using a combination of genetic, functional cell biology, and neuropathological methods.
