Scholar-generated biography
Paolo Arosio is an Associate Professor at ETH Zurich, specializing in biochemical engineering, biophysical chemistry, biophysics, and biotechnology. His research focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms of protein aggregation, particularly in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. He investigates the formation and dynamics of amyloid fibrils, the role of molecular chaperones in suppressing toxic aggregates, and the development of small molecules and antibodies to inhibit specific steps in aggregation pathways. His work also explores the application of chemical kinetics and machine learning in drug discovery for protein misfolding diseases. Additionally, he studies extracellular vesicles and their potential in biotechnology and nanotechnology.
