His research focuses on the neurodevelopmental functions of the $$\text{PDK1}$$ signaling network and its implications for neurodegenerative and mental illnesses. His laboratory specializes in the $$\text{PI3K}$$/$$\text{Akt}$$ signaling pathway, utilizing brain-specific conditional knock-in mice with engineered $$\text{PDK1}$$ mutations (K465E and L155E) to study how these affect neuronal development and disease processes.
