From Fold to Fail: How Proteins Go Rogue in Molecular Mayhem

Proteins are the microscopic workhorses of life—folding themselves into complex, elegant shapes to perform critical functions within every living cell. But what happens when this intricate folding process goes awry?

In this fascinating deep dive into the molecular drama unfolding inside our bodies, renowned biophysicist Dr. Samrat Mukhopadhyay takes us on a journey from the precise choreography of protein folding to the devastating consequences of its failure. Misfolded proteins lie at the heart of some of the most challenging and tragic diseases known to science, including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and ALS. This talk explores how and why proteins go rogue, the molecular mechanisms behind their transformation, and the groundbreaking research seeking to prevent these molecular misfires.

With clarity, passion, and insight, Dr. Mukhopadhyay reveals the invisible battles taking place within our cells and the high-stakes efforts scientists are making to decode and control them.
