Research Focus
Dr. Eva Feldman's lab at the University of Michigan focuses on understanding the mechanisms behind neurodegenerative diseases like ALS and the complications of diabetes, particularly peripheral neuropathy. The lab investigates how environmental factors and lifestyle choices impact nerve health and disease progression, aiming to develop targeted prevention and treatment strategies for these debilitating conditions.
