Deborah J. Watson, Ph.D.
Research Assistant Professor of Neurosurgery
Dr. Watson's research centers on understanding mechanisms that underlie neurodegenerative diseases and the development of potential therapeutic treatment strategies. Current projects include the engineering of neural stem cells to deliver therapeutic genes to the central nervous system. This work, along with other research conducted by Dr. Watson, has potential applications in Parkinson's disease, traumatic brain injury, and hereditary juvenile mental retardation diseases.
