Research Interests:
Inborn errors of metabolism. Identification of pharmacological chaperones for rare disorders. Screening of small molecules that recue or recover function and stability of misfolded proteins. Combination of in silico, in vitro, and in vivo experiments that lead to optimized hit identification of small molecules targeting milsfolded protein variants for further drug development process.
