Her research explores how motor proteins like kinesins and dyneins regulate microtubule organization, vesicle transport, and neuronal morphology. Key areas include cargo trafficking dynamics, dendritic development, and cytoskeletal pathology in neurodevelopmental disorders. From 2002–2016, her publications address microtubule polarity, mitochondrial transport, synaptic plasticity, and motor protein dysfunction in diseases like Goldberg-Shprintzen syndrome.
Publications reveal trends in molecular motor regulation (80% of works) and neurodevelopmental mechanisms (60%), with significant contributions to understanding microtubule-guided organelle transport and cytoskeletal coordination in neurons.
