Statement of Research Interest
The central goal of the Dallman lab is to determine mechanisms by which genes produce symptoms of disease. To address this question, my group generates zebrafish models of inherited human neurological disorders to understand how mutations impact development and produce resulting symptoms. By comparing multiple forms of a single disorder, we elucidate both shared and distinct mechanisms by which different mutations produce symptoms such as altered sensory processing and gastrointestinal dysmotility. Our long-term goal is to elucidate underlying mechanisms that can inform treatment strategies for individuals with inherited nervous system disorders such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
