Welcome to the webpage of the Metabolic Neurodegeneration Laboratory, led by Dr Daniel Erskine at Newcastle University.

Our research is focused on degenerative diseases of the brain, with a particular focus on Lewy body dementia and conditions with putative mechanistic overlaps, particularly mitochondrial diseases and lysosomal storage disorders.

This website will provide an overview of our research, including the rationale that underlies our work and some of our key findings to date.

For more information on our research, please have a look at the "For the general public" section, where we have plain English descriptions of our research, or the "Our research" section, which is designed for fellow scientists and uses some technical language.
