Principal Investigator

Dr. Huang is leading the PQC (Protein Quality Control) Lab, with a research focus on the role and molecular mechanisms of the protein quality control system in cellular homeostasis. The protein quality control system is an essential cellular machinery that assists in the proper folding of proteins and maintains their correct three-dimensional conformation to ensure biological activity. Dysfunction of this system often leads to protein misfolding, which is closely associated with a range of human diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative disorders, diabetes, and cancer.
