Dr Tonya Zeczycki, an associate professor at the Brody School of Medicine at ECU, studies Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and other neurodegenerative diseases in her lab. She focuses on protein interactions, misfolding, and aggregation.
Applications:
- Protein-Protein Interactions: The Chirascan CD studies the intricate interactions between proteins, which are crucial for understanding the mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative diseases.
- Protein Misfolding and Aggregation: The instrument investigates protein misfolding and aggregation, processes that are central to the development of diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
- Intrinsically Disordered Proteins: Dr Zeczycki’s lab focuses on intrinsically disordered proteins and their interactions, using the Chirascan CD to explore how these proteins contribute to neurodegenerative diseases.
- Protein-Ligand Interactions: Research includes examining how proteins interact with small ligands, which can alter protein function and aggregation.
