Research Interest and Background
My research interest lies in the area of ‘protein misfolding diseases’ with special emphasis on neurodegenerative diseases. The long-term goals of my laboratory are to analyze the biochemical and biophysical properties including stability and post-translational modifications of proteins involved in neurodegenerative diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, prion diseases, and Huntington’s disease, which misfold and show intracellular or extracellular aggregates at the end stage of the disease. Characterization of unique properties of these proteins may help us understand how these proteins may affect the overall health of a cell.
