Danny works in Dr. Julie Hollien’s lab at the University of Utah, where he uses mammalian cells as a model to study cellular stress and neurodegenerative diseases. Specifically, his project focuses on discovering relationship between lysosome repositioning, aggregated proteins, and how they can affect neurodegeneration. He uses a variety of techniques from cell biology, biochemistry, and genetics to answer his research questions. Danny would like to see his research contributing to deeper understanding of protein aggregates and neurodegeneration.
