Research Overview

The Yerbury Lab focuses on the understanding of the molecular processes underpinning the Motor Neurone Disease (MND) Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) with a particular emphasis on protein misfolding, protein aggregation and inclusion formation. We think that by understanding the process of protein aggregation in the cellular environment that we might be able to uncover why neurons die in motor neurone disease. Our team is part of the Proteostasis and Disease Research Centre at the University of Wollongong and is housed in the Illawarra Health and Medical Research Institute.
