Research interests emphasize epigenetic regulation in neurological recovery, neuroprotective strategies, and neuronal repair after injury. Key areas include histone deacetylase (HDAC) mechanisms, NAD+ metabolism, and mitochondrial dynamics in axonal regeneration.
His publications explore topics like epigenetic changes post-TBI, neuroprotective NAD+ interventions, and Miro1 protein deacetylation effects on axon growth.
Langley has received notable awards including the Goldsmith Award (2005), ADDF Award (2008), and AMRF Investigator title (APNRR program).
His advisory work includes training postdoctoral and graduate fellows in neuroscience research. Current projects involve Burke Neurological Institute collaborations and Weill Cornell’s translational neuroscience programs.
Langley directs the Neuronal Epigenetics Laboratory (former role) and contributes to interdisciplinary teams studying motor recovery and pain/sensory repair mechanisms.
