Thanks for your interest in the Mok lab
We are fascinated by all things related to protein folding!
We use biochemistry and cell biology techniques to learn how proteins acquire and maintain their specific folded shapes. We study an amazing group of proteins called molecular chaperones that function to keep our proteins correctly folded. Our team is working hard to help solve the mystery of why specific proteins stop folding correctly (called misfolding or aggregation) in diseases such as Alzheimer's.
