Research summary

Jessica S. Fortin's research focuses on protein misfolding and aggregation diseases, particularly involving proteins like alpha-synuclein, tau, and amyloid that are linked to neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. Her work spans basic biochemistry (studying protein structure and aggregation using mass spectrometry), drug discovery (designing small molecules to block harmful protein clumping), and veterinary medicine (including studies on amyloidosis and pituitary disease in horses). This combination suggests a translational approach connecting molecular-level protein science to disease diagnosis and therapeutic development across both human and animal contexts.
