The Wadhwa lab seeks to understand how bacteria sense mechanical cues from their environment and how these cues are transduced into biochemical signals to modulate behavior.

Ashton's research investigates synaptic dysfunction in Frontotemporal Dementia.

Her project focuses on astrocyte-microglia interactions in ALS/FTD and how neuroinflammation contributes to disease onset and progression.

My research focuses on understanding neuronal circuits in hearing and balance. Specifically, I am studying the role of unipolar brush cells in cerebellar circuits.
