Summary
The major research goal of our laboratory is to understand the molecular mechanisms that underlie neurodegenerative disorders associated with protein misfolding and aggregation, with a focus on Alzheimer’s disease, Huntington’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. In particular, we are interested in the potential role cellular and subcellular surfaces may play in these events.
