Protein Structure Aging Laboratory

Proteins get old as all the living things do, and protein aging is highly correlated with severe deformation of protein structure. Not surprisingly, many human diseases are originated from protein structure aging.

By employing highly-advanced structural biology techniques (e.g. NMR spectroscopy), our laboratory performs diverse studies to understand the very essence of structural aging phenomena and the related pathological mechanisms of proteins at the atomic scale.

We seek to find the answers regarding 1) how proteins age, 2) what causes it, and 3) how we overcome and treat it.
