the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research and a Professor of
Biology at MIT. Widely known for her groundbreaking work on how
changes in protein conformation affect processes such as stress
tolerance, neurodegenerative disease and heredity, her work on
proteins has given us compelling new insight into genetics, evolution
and disease and has helped provide a framework for understanding
biological mysteries including Alzheimerís, Parkinsonís and mad
cow disease.<br>
