Eric Reits

Professor Eric Reits at the University of Groningen's Faculty of Science and Engineering specializes in Huntington's Disease (HD) research. His work focuses on improving selective degradation of the mutant huntingtin (HTT) protein prior to aggregation, a key therapeutic strategy for preventing and delaying HD onset.

• Combines advanced microscopy, biochemistry, mass spectrometry, and chemical HTT toolboxes
• Develops screening setups for untagged HTT degradation
• Investigates HD disease mechanisms and collaborative strategies

His research sits at the intersection of molecular biology, neuroscience, and protein degradation fields.
