Francesca Bartolini, Ph.D.
I am a cell biologist with a Ph.D. in Biochemistry from NYU. My research laboratory investigates the role of microtubule dynamics and tubulin post-translational modifications in neuronal physiology and at the onset of neurodegenerative and neuropathic disease.
Our laboratory is located in the Dept. of Pathology & Cell Biology at Columbia University in New York.
