Seminar Information

Protein misfolding is a hallmark of neurodegenerative diseases. Therefore, identifying how cells counteract protein misfolding may lead to the identification of pathways that can be targeted to treat neurodegeneration. Our lab utilizes a wide array of models spanning from Dictyostelium to mouse models to try and understand pathways that counter acts neurodegeneration. In this seminar I will highlight key pathways that function to suppress protein aggregation and may someday be targeted to treat neurodegenerative diseases.
