Research Showcase – Amyloid & Tau Assembly in Alzheimer’s
April 29 @ 12:00 pm - 12:45 pm
How do amyloid beta and tau proteins drive damage in Alzheimer’s disease. And what role does their assembly process play in shaping disease progression.
This livestream is part of the Dementia Researcher weekly Showcase series. Each week we host a 45 minute online session bringing researchers together to share their work, methods, and ideas.
In this session, Professor Louise Serpell will present her research on amyloid fibrils formed from amyloid beta and tau proteins and their role in Alzheimer’s disease. Her work explores how the assembly process and structural properties of these proteins influence neuronal survival and organelle health.
By examining how these proteins form and behave, her research provides important insights into how assembly dynamics contribute to neuronal damage and disease progression.
Louise is a Professor at the University of Sussex specialising in structural biology and the molecular mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative diseases. Her work focuses on understanding protein aggregation and its impact on brain health.
Attendees can expect a research focused session with time for questions and discussion.
