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 (FTD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Her work has explored the role of lysosome dysfunction in these conditions, drawing insights from both genetic mutations and toxicant-induced disruptions. Johnson has studied the impact of specific mutations, such as the p97 R155H mutation associated with ALS, on cellular processes like lysophagy in motor neurons derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs).

Her investigations also extend to the function of synaptic vesicle glycoproteins, such as synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2C, in enhancing vesicular storage of dopamine and providing protection against dopaminergic toxicity. Johnson has utilized model organisms like *Caenorhabditis elegans* for metabolic profiling in studies related to genetic or toxicant-induced disruptions of vesicular monoamine storage. Her scholarly output includes 47 publications with 429 citations and an h-index of 9.
