Holger Wille, PhD

Holger Wille is a Professor at the 海角社区 in the Department of Biochemistry and the interim Director for the Centre for Prions and Protein Folding Diseases. His research focuses on misfolded proteins that cause neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, as well as the prion diseases that afflict humans, livestock and free-ranging wildlife. His research is centered on the molecular structures of the underlying, disease-causing proteins and how to translate this knowledge into prophylactic vaccines and therapies.
