Highlighting Eberly research on Parkinson’s disease

Because April is Parkinson’s Awareness Month, we’re featuring two Eberly researchers who are studying this disease from two very different angles. Daisy Philtron, assistant research professor of statistics, is building a framework to study diseases that incorporates different types of data at the same time. Scott Selleck, professor of biochemistry and molecular biology, studies the processes of neurodegeneration and how cells respond to stress and counteract cellular damage that takes place over a person’s lifetime.
