RESEARCH
INTERESTS OF THE DREW LABORATORY
Research
in the Drew lab focuses on three aspects of hibernation as a model of
neuroprotection. The first is
study of physiological adaptations as well as mechanisms of intrinsic
tissue tolerance in heterothermic mammals.
The second is study of mechanisms regulating neuroplasticity after
arousal from hibernation. The
third is mechanisms of metabolic down regulation in hibernation.
All three research areas focus on discovery of novel therapies to
treat stroke and neurodegenerative disorders.
