| Description of research activities: Dr. Hynds investigates the biochemical mechanisms responsible for the growth and guidance of axons during normal nervous system development and regeneration after injury. The focus is on signal transduction networks that regulate cytoskeletal dynamics in neurons, particular pathways involving the Rho subfamily of small guanine nucleotide triphosphatases. | |
