Award for research on mutant tubulins and their role in resistance to pathological tau, aiming to understand neurodegenerative diseases, funded by NIH and conducted at University of Washington and VA Puget Sound.
Description
The project focuses on elucidating mechanisms of mutant tubulin-mediated suppression of tau toxicity. The research involves in vivo, in vitro, and mammalian neuron studies. The work aims to contribute to understanding neurodegenerative diseases, especially tauopathies. The funding is from the NIH, with a focus on aging and neurodegeneration. The project is based at the University of Washington and the Veterans Affairs Puget Sound Health Care System.
