Dr. Paulson’s research and clinical interests concern the causes and treatment of age-related neuro degenerative diseases, with a focus on hereditary ataxias, Alzheimer’s disease, and frontotemporal dementia. His laboratory investigates the mechanisms underlying degenerative brain diseases and seeks preventive therapies for these largely untreatable and often fatal disorders.
