Interests
Dr. Bonkowsky is engaged in both clinical and basic science studies. His clinical studies are focused on understanding the clinical features of novel leukodystrophies, and on the genetics of complex human neurobehavioral traits, especially language impairments. The basic science research of Dr. Bonkowsky uses zebrafish to investigate complex human neurogenetic diseases at a more basic level, specifically diseases of language and basal ganglia function.
