Profile

Jon joined the department in 2001 after postdoctoral work on Huntington disease and other polyglutamine disorders at the University of Wales College of Medicine in Cardiff (1994-96) and the Laboratory of Molecular Neurobiology at the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions in Baltimore (1996-2001).

His research focused on molecular mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative disorders and neurodevelopmental pathways conferring susceptibility to psychiatric disease, prior to focusing on teaching.
