Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Michelle Gray's research program investigates the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying Huntington's disease (HD), a neurodegenerative disorder. Her work utilizes genetically modified mouse models, including human Huntingtin BAC mice and BACHD mice, to study disease pathogenesis and explore potential therapeutic strategies. Gray's recent publications focus on transcriptional dysregulation in striatal neurons, the role of glial cells in polyglutamine diseases, and the modulation of astrocytic exocytosis as a therapeutic avenue. She also examines the impact of estrogen-related receptor gamma on mitochondrial and autophagy pathways in neurons, relevant to HD transcriptional changes. Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 13 with 1,746 total citations across 38 publications. Gray collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Suman Mitra, Arna Nishita Nithila, Jennifer D. Webb, and Alishia Juanelle Ferguson, with whom she shares multiple publications.
