Research Interest

Efrat′s Research interests are treatment targets for Alzheimer’s Disease and  other neurodegenerative disorders. The focus is on discovering genetic mutations and allelic variations involved in hereditary forms of  amyloidoses; characterizing the regulation of amyloid precursor proteins processing; defining processes involved in the conversion of  soluble protein to the insoluble, oligomeric and fibrillar forms; identifying factors that inhibit oligomerization and fertilization of amyloid proteins; and identifying factors that prevent disease-driven neurodegeneration
