Science in Medicine Lecture--Prion infections: From molecular biology towards therapy and prophylaxis 5/24/2012 12:00:00 PM - 5/24/2012 1:00:00 PM
Dr. Hermann Schatzl received his M.D. training in Munich, Germany. He started work with prions at UCSF with Stanley B. Prusiner, continued this research in Munich as assistant professor at the Gene Center, and Professor of Clinical Virology at the Technical University, before joining the University of Wyoming as Wyoming Endowed Excellence Chair. Dr. Schaetzl’s research focuses on prion diseases, fatal infectious and neurodegenerative disorders of humans and animals, prototypic protein misfolding disorders. The overall objective of his group is to study the cellular and molecular biology of prion infections and to use gained understanding for delineating novel targets for intervention.
