My lab is testing novel mechanistic hypotheses of Alzheimers etiology, based on recent, unique molecular biophysical observations of pro-amyloid and innate immune peptides.
Increasing numbers of epidemiological and co-morbidity studies indicate that multiple, progressive degenerative diseases, all involving plaque deposition in various body compartments, are linked. For instance, many researchers have begun to refer to Alzheimers Disease as "Diabetes Melittus Type III". We seek, with current projects, to sleuth out the shared molecular biophysical bases for these emerging linkages.
