His research focuses on genomic and transcriptomic mechanisms of neurodegeneration, applying bioinformatics and machine learning to study Huntington's, Parkinson's, and Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE). He specializes in post-mortem human brain tissue analysis and cerebrospinal fluid transcriptomics, with methodological expertise in metatranscriptomics spanning applications from Caribbean coral ecology to central nervous system-microbiome interactions.
Recent publications highlight his work on tau haplotype risks in CTE, transposable element RNAs in neurodegeneration, and APOER2 splicing in Alzheimer's disease. His research has been supported by NIH/National Institute on Aging (2024-2029) and multiple Department of Veterans Administration grants.
He leads interdisciplinary collaborations with institutions including Boston University Alzheimer's Disease Research Center, VA Boston Healthcare System, and Boston Medical Center, while maintaining active roles in BMC Med Genomics and PLoS Genet editorial boards.
