Summary

My current research focuses on pathogenesis, treatment, and diagnosis of age-related degenerative diseases—in particular Alzheimer’s disease and, more recently, Parkinson’s disease and related synucleinopathies.

In these protein conformational disorders, a normal protein is converted to a pathological form with high beta-sheet content. The main theme of my work involves clarifying this pathological process, its consequences at the molecular and functional levels, and how best to diagnose and prevent it.
