Research topics: The Schuele lab works on gene discovery and novel stem cell technologies to generate stem cell models from patients with Parkinson’s disease and related disorders to understand the underlying causes of neurodegeneration and to develop biomarkers and new therapies for neurodegenerative diseases.
Techniques: We use human induced pluripotent stem cell models and transgenic rodent models to study disease mechanisms.
