Marc Hammarlund's doctoral work focused on genetics and synaptic transmission, under the guidance of Erik Jorgensen. His postdoctoral research with Mike Bastiani led to significant discoveries in the study of axon regeneration in Caenorhabditis elegans, particularly identifying the DLK regeneration pathway. Currently, Hammarlund leads a lab that investigates neuronal degeneration and regeneration, as well as cell fate, with the ultimate goal of uncovering fundamental mechanisms in neuronal cell biology. His research aims to advance the understanding of how neurons can regenerate after injury, emphasizing the critical nature of cellular and molecular processes involved in nerve regeneration.
