Research Interest
The Eisele lab focuses on age-related amyloid diseases like Alzheimer’s disease and cardiac transthyretin amyloidosis. We have made seminal contributions to the characterization of protein aggregates that cause these diseases using a wide range of biochemical, molecular, and cell biological methods. By delineating the molecular mechanism of these diseases, we identify novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets. The Eisele lab collaborates closely with the clinical team, and is dedicated to translating basic research findings into benefits for patients.
Educational Interest
Throughout her career, Dr. Eisele has mentored many undergraduate students, graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows who have gone on to highly successful careers in science. She is actively involved in courses and seminars at the University of Pittsburgh, and enjoys helping her mentees develop their full potential in cutting edge science.
