Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias Translational Work-in-Progress Series (TWIPs)

Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias Translational Work-in-Progress Series (TWIPs) with:
Zheng Shi, PhD, Associate Professor, Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, Rutgers-New Brunswick

“Deciphering Determinants of Condensate Liquid-to-Solid Transitions in Neurodegeneration”

📆 Wednesday, November 4 12:00-1:00pm
💻 Attend via Zoom

Dr. Shi’s lab pursues two primary directions: 1) Quantitative understanding of the material properties of biomolecular condensates in cells that are relevant to neurodegeneration and cell signaling. 2) Investigating the subcellular behavior of mechanosensitive proteins. Dr. Shi is hoping to discuss specific aims and get feedback for a potential NINDS R01 application. Particularly, he is trying to develop his research aims, which currently focus on the material states of biomolecular condensates, towards understanding the mechanisms of neurodegeneration.
