Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Michelle Gray's research focuses on the molecular mechanisms underlying neurological disorders, particularly Huntington's disease. Her work investigates the role of specific genetic factors, such as CAG repeat expansions in the Huntingtin gene, and their impact on neuronal function and pathogenesis. Gray's publications explore how these genetic alterations lead to transcriptional dysregulation and cellular dysfunction within the striatum, a brain region critically affected in Huntington's disease. She also examines the contribution of glial cells to disease progression and has published on potential therapeutic strategies, including the modulation of SNARE-dependent exocytosis in astrocytes. Additionally, Gray's research extends to the study of transportation barriers and mobility options for older adults, including perceptions toward autonomous vehicles, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their activity participation in Arkansas.
