Misfolded proteins can either create the loss of a cellular function, or escape degradation, causing aggregation diseases.

Dr John Christianson's research focusses on ER-associated degradation, which is responsible for clearing non-functional and orphan translation products.

Dr Christianson's long term goal is to identify novel points of interventions for cancer therapies.
