The Center for Protein Folding Machinery has been established to define the
basic chemical and physical principles used by molecular chaperones in the
folding of proteins through a variety of interdisciplinary approaches. From
this knowledge base, we aim to engineer protein machines that can assist in
the folding of any protein of interest, as well as develop strategies to
alleviative or prevent protein misfolding associated with a number of human
diseases.
