The Hartl Lab

The Hartl Lab, led by renowned biologist Friedrich M. Hartl, focuses on understanding the role of proteins in cells, particularly how they fold and function properly. Misfolded proteins can lead to various diseases, including neurodegenerative disorders. The lab employs advanced techniques in genetics, molecular biology, and biochemistry to unravel the complexities of protein behavior and the mechanisms behind cellular stress responses. By studying these processes, the Hartl Lab aims to contribute to the development of new treatments for diseases related to protein misfolding and aggregation.
