Current Research
Our research falls in the broad field of biological chemistry with a major focus on biophysics of proteins and peptides.  We are currently focused on understanding several different aspects of amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide aggregation involved in

Alzheimer’s disease (AD), mainly via biophysical and chemical biology approaches. 
In addition, we are also interested in developing rationally designed molecules for AD and other neurodegenerative diseases that can prevent aberrant protein aggregation.
