Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Michelle A. Johnson's research investigates the molecular mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative diseases, with a particular focus on frontotemporal dementia and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Her work explores the role of lysosome dysfunction in disease pathogenesis, as demonstrated by studies on ALS-related mutations affecting lysophagy in motor neurons. Johnson also examines the impact of genetic and toxicant-induced disruptions on vesicular monoamine storage and global metabolic profiling in model organisms, such as Caenorhabditis elegans. Additionally, her research has explored the effects of stress on inflammation and adiposity, and the potential of therapeutic interventions. She has published on a range of topics, including those related to neuroscience, metabolism, and animal science. Johnson holds a h-index of 9 with 47 total publications and 444 citations.
