Professor · Institute for Neurodegenerative Diseases

Daniel Southworth's lab studies molecular chaperone–driven protein quality control, using single-particle cryo-EM to capture chaperones, AAA+ disaggregases and amyloid filaments in action and resolve the conformational states that explain how they work.
