معرفی
Ben Distel is an Associate Professor in Clinical Genetics at Erasmus University Rotterdam. His research focuses on molecular mechanisms underlying neurodevelopmental disorders, particularly Angelman syndrome and peroxisome biogenesis disorders. His laboratory utilizes cross-species approaches to identify UBE3A-dependent signaling pathways and develop therapeutic strategies.
Distel's work integrates proteomics, genetic engineering, and behavioral analysis to investigate ubiquitin-proteasome system dysregulation. Recent studies examine hippocampal responses in Angelman syndrome models and FEM1B-related neurodevelopmental disorders. Collaborative projects span biochemistry, neurology, and clinical genetics to bridge molecular insights with therapeutic development.
