Cellular Responses to Chronic Protein Misfolding

Protein misfolding underlies many age-related diseases including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and macular degeneration. Dr. Lin will research the mechanisms by which human cells cope and adapt to protein misfolding or die. This may shed light into the pathogenesis of age-related diseases which could lead to new therapies to target these mechanisms.
