Research Area: Dr. Dyxhoorn’s current research focuses on understanding the impact that genetic and epigenetic variations have on the development of various disorders, such as, neurological disorders (autism spectrum disorder, epilepsy, Alzheimer’s disease, and sensorineural disorders), cardiovascular disease (Long Qt syndrome), and viral infections. These experiments combine a variety of molecular biological, genomic, and electrophysiological approaches to examine the underlying molecular mechanisms that drive disease pathogenesis.
