School Highlights New Faces
In my postdoctoral work, developed in Kausik Si’s laboratory at the Stowers Institute for Medical Research, I have implemented the structural view in the study of functional amyloids extracted from their native environment. Specifically, I have characterized the function and structure of the aggregated state, isolated from the Drosophila brain, of the synaptic protein synthesis regulator CPEB, which across animal species plays a causal role in transforming a short-term memory to a long-lived one. Now I am poised to use this knowledge to elucidate the structure and function of biologically active amyloids isolated from their physiological environment, implicated in memory consolidation in humans and animal development. I hope to accomplish this ambitious goal at the HKU.
