Professor Evan Reid

I am a clinician-scientist who studies the molecular cell biology of genetic motor neuron disorders, with a research group based at Cambridge Institute for Medical Research on the Addenbrooke’s campus.  I am clinically active and see neurogenetics patients as part of my role as an NHS honorary consultant in Clinical Genetics.

Project/study information 

We focus on studying the molecular pathology of hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSPs). These are genetic conditions in which axons degenerate, so they allow us to understand cellular processes that are vital in keeping axons alive. Our work concentrates on understanding the functions HSP proteins in membrane traffic.
