Protein Engineering & Structural Biochemistry: The general focus of our research group is to study the 鈥淟oss of Function鈥 and 鈥淕ain of Function鈥 of the disease-associated misfolded proteins. This includes understanding various amyloid conformers and their role in toxic function. We use biochemical and biophysical methods to understand the structural and biological mechanisms of disease-associated proteins in neurodegenerative diseases.
The other focus of my research group is to translate structural biochemistry to agricultural sustainability. Our group utilizes a combination of 鈥渙mics鈥 approaches to identify the biomarker of Clubroot disease.
