Dr. Visser's research mainly focusus at unravelling the pathogenetic mechanisms of Lesch-Nyhan disease. Particularly the development of the brain's dopamine neurons play a key role. These processes are studied in genetic mouse models of the disease. With this knowledge, new future treatment strategies can be developed. Therefore, current projects also focus on deciphering the optimal timing of such treatment.
