Research Summary

Dr. Yang's research interests include: abnormal aggregation of proteins in neurodegenerative diseases; protein interactions, such as presenilin-binding proteins and the interactions between amyloid-beta peptide and apolipoprotein E, in Alzheimer's disease; and the neuronal endosomal-autophagic-lysosomal system (EALS) and neuronal cell death in Alzheimer's disease and in transgenic mouse models.
