研究领域

Increasing evidence indicates that further exploration of protein quality control system is critical for understanding the basic mechanism underlying neurodegenerative disorders including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease. The goal of our studies is to describe how protein quality control systems, including autophagy-lysosome pathway and ubiquitin-proteasome system, fail to protect neurons at disease stages. To this end, we will use cell biology, molecular biology, biochemical approaches and genetic manipulation of animal models to investigate the relationship between protein quality control system and neurodegeneration.
