TUNEL staining in DRGs

Welcome to the Chandran Lab!

Our research in the Chandran Lab focuses on how the nervous system works, and how it responds and repairs itself due to the damage caused by injury or disease.

Our Areas of Focus

PNS & CNS Regeneration

We performed the first systems approach to study neural repair mechanism by pioneering work in functional genomics.

Friedreich’s Ataxia

Reduced expression of frataxin (Fxn) is the cause of Friedreich’s ataxia (FRDA), an early-onset neurodegenerative disease resulting in early mortality.
