About Me
Internationally recognized authority in the fields of protein folding and calcium homeostasis and their roles in pathology of human diseases. His pioneering work on membrane-associated chaperones (proteins that assist in protein folding) and protein quality control have had a major impact on our understanding and treatment of many protein folding disorders including congenital heart diseases, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis and prion diseases. His work provides a unique blend of discovery research with a high relevance to clinical applications and changes in a fundamental way how we view the protein quality control machinery of cellular systems.
