Volney L. Sheen Lab
Welcome to the Sheen Lab
Join us in illuminating the biology of neurodegenerative diseases and epilepsy, transforming lives through discovery
Volney L. Sheen, MD, PhD
Our mission is to drive groundbreaking research that enhances the well-being of individuals living with neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative diseases. Through innovation and collaboration, we strive to deepen our understanding and develop transformative treatment strategies. We welcomed dedicated and creative scientists to join us in this pursuit—working together to shape the future of neuroscience and make a meaningful impact on patients' lives.
Neuroscience Research
Our laboratory has three central areas of investigation:
- Generation and characterization of ventricular zone-derived human neural stem cells from developmental disorders of the central nervous system.
- Study of inherited disorders of cortical development, resulting from disruption of developmental processes along the ventricular zone.
- Study of different pathways involved in Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative diseases.
