معرفی
Tyler Chapman is a Researcher at Macquarie University, affiliated with the School of Natural Sciences and the Motor Neuron Disease Research Centre. He holds a Bachelor of Advanced Science (Hon) in Molecular and Cell Biology from UNSW Sydney (2016–2019). His current role involves synthetic DNA construct development for zebrafish-based live cell imaging and proteomic studies focused on protein interactions in Motor Neuron Disease (MND). Previously, he worked as a Research Assistant at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research (2019–2020).
His research interests center on neurodegenerative diseases, particularly ALS and MND, with a focus on TDP-43 protein mechanisms, phase separation, and post-translational modifications. He applies synthetic biology principles inspired by figures like Craig Venter to develop novel therapeutic approaches.
Chapman is involved in a 2024–2026 FightMND IMPACT grant project, collaborating on gene therapy control mechanisms for ALS. His work spans 8 peer-reviewed publications and preprints, emphasizing proteomics, cellular models, and zebrafish systems.
