Joy Ghosh Ph.D.
Postdoctoral Research Fellow
I grew up in India, did under-graduate work in biochemistry in Texas, and then went on to the University of Washington Medical School as a Ph.D. student in biomolecular structure and design. While doing my Ph.D. research on cataracts, I discovered a set of molecules that keeps proteins from forming the toxic clumps associated with diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
My research interests include protein misfolding and aggregation diseases, early diagnostics and therapeutics, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, chaperones, protein unfolding.
