My lab i dentified presynaptic function as one of the likely loci of this vulnerabi lity and has leveraged the sensitivity of synaptic vesicle recycling to me tabolic compromise to dissect the molecular underpinnings of how local ATP production is balanced during electrical activity in axons. Our work has helped identify critical control points that in turn appear central to neu rodegenerative diseases and offer new therapeutic approaches to neurodegen eration.\n\nTimothy Ryan\n\nTimothy Ryan\, PhD is a Rockefeller/Sloan-Kett ering/Cornell Tri-Institutional Professor in the department of Biochemistr y & Biophysics at Weill Cornell Medicine.
