Jonathan’s Work

The Sachs Lab is making innovative discoveries at the molecular scale. The work combines experimental biophysics and cell biology with sophisticated computational modeling using some of the world’s fastest supercomputers to explain how molecules malfunction in neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s and inflammatory diseases like arthritis. We use that new knowledge to develop cutting-edge approaches to discover new therapeutic strategies, including small molecule drug discovery and protein engineering.
