Research Interest and Background
Our research interest lies in the area of 'protein aggregation diseases'. The long-term goal of our laboratory is to understand the relationship between protein misfolding and aggregation, and their role in health and disease. Although, protein misfolding and aggregation have been directly linked to cellular toxicity for several protein deposition diseases, the underlying mechanism(s) by which these aggregated proteins impair cellular function(s) and cause toxicity is not clear and is a subject of intense debate. The focus of our lab is to study the consequences of protein misfolding in vitro and how it relates to misfolding in vivo.
