Welcome to the Ferguson lab website!
Our lab is breaking new ground in understanding the epigenetic mechanisms that control neurodevelopment, and we have opened a new (if so far very small) field of study on the unexpected role of ubiquitin signaling in shaping chromatin. In other lines of investigation, we are studying neuroinflammation in the context of neurodegeneration (in the brain and the eye). Our work benefits greatly from UCSD's outstanding programs in Neuroscience, Computational Biology, and Genetics. Check out the Research, Publications, and Team tabs to learn more.
In addition to leading my research team, I serve as Director of Ophthalmic Pathology within the Neuropathology Division and teach several graduate courses. You can learn about these activities by clicking the Teaching and Clinical Service tabs above.
And if you'd like to join us in our explorations, you know where to click!
