CANCELLED - Knowing Right From Wrong (Protein Conformation): The Challenging Choices of (Molecular) Chaperones

Air date: Wednesday, March 16, 2022, 3:00:00 PM
Time displayed is Eastern Time, Washington DC Local
Description: Speaker Judith Frydman's research is to understand how proteins fold in living cells. The Frydman lab uses a multidisciplinary approach to address fundamental questions about molecular chaperones, protein folding and degradation. In addition to basic mechanistic principles, we aim to define how impairment of cellular folding and quality control are linked to disease, including cancer and neurodegenerative diseases and examine whether reengineering chaperone networks can provide therapeutic strategies.
