Dr. Tali Gidalevitz is an Associate Professor and Co-Director of the Graduate Biology Program at Drexel University. Her research investigates proteostasis failure in protein misfolding diseases like Alzheimer's and ALS, using C. elegans and mammalian models to understand cellular stress responses.
Research directions include:
- Neuronal susceptibility mechanisms to misfolded proteins
- Impact of genetic variation on proteostasis networks
- ER proteostasis regulation during physiological stress
The lab examines how misfolded proteins disrupt cellular functions by corrupting 'bystander' proteins, and how natural genetic variation influences aggregation resistance. Recent publications focus on IRE1/PERK stress sensors, HSP chaperones, and ER proteostasis mechanisms relevant to neurodegeneration.
