معرفی
Andrew Garrett is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pharmacology at Wayne State University School of Medicine. His research investigates molecular mechanisms of neural circuit formation, focusing on cell adhesion molecules in retinal development and neuronal self-avoidance.
The Garrett Lab studies how clustered protocadherins and DSCAMs regulate neuronal self-recognition processes critical for proper wiring of retinal circuits. Research combines genetic mouse models, in vivo imaging, and molecular approaches to understand how neurons establish connectivity patterns through adhesive interactions.
Publications examine molecular mechanisms of dendritic arborization, synaptic development, and retinal circuitry organization. Recent work characterizes isoform-specific functions of protocadherins in neuronal survival and dendrite morphogenesis, with implications for neurodevelopmental disorders.
