Featured – Seyfried Lab

Dr. Nicholas Seyfried was among the few researchers asked to speak at the first Synuclein Biomarkers & Neuropathology Summit to present his team’s analysis of samples from the Parkinson’s Disease Biomarkers Program (PDBP)

Dr. Nicholas Seyfried presented at the first Synuclein Biomarkers & Neuropathology Summit that was featured by Alzforum “Synuclein Summit Rallies Researchers to Better Pathology Detection”. The summit’s “aim was to bring everyone together to openly discuss what is and isn’t working” for Parkinson’s disease. A preprint of the work presented can be found on bioRxiv […]

Dr. Sarah Shapley, former graduate student, and Dr. Nicholas Seyfried are featured in ASBMB Today for their recent Molecular & Cellular Proteomics paper where Emory University researchers developed a method to capture tau-associated proteins found in diseased human brains.

Emory University researchers engineered an enzyme that marks proteins (red) that interact with tau (blue) during aggregation by labeling them with biotin (B), which makes them easier to isolate and identify.
