معرفی
Linda Olson, PhD, is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology at the Medical College of Wisconsin. Her research focuses on carbohydrate recognition mechanisms and ligand specificity of the mannose-6-phosphate receptor (MPR) family proteins, employing techniques like X-ray crystallography and NMR spectroscopy. She also investigates the role of salt-inducible kinase II in disease. Her work bridges structural biology, glycobiology, and cell biology, contributing to understanding glycoprotein trafficking and enzyme targeting.
Research Interests:
- Mechanisms of carbohydrate recognition by MPR proteins
- Structural and functional analysis of glycoproteins
- Role of salt-inducible kinase II in disease pathways
- MPR-mediated lysosomal enzyme sorting
Publications highlight her expertise in structural biology and glycobiology, with studies on mannose-6-phosphate receptor interactions, enzyme-ligand binding, and protein expression systems. No scientific awards or grants are explicitly listed, though her work is supported by NIH grants (implied via PMCIDs). No formal advisees are mentioned.
Labs/Teams: Her research is conducted within the Department of Pharmacology, collaborating with institutions like the University of Wisconsin-Madison and international teams.
