Raluca Ostafe's research focuses on developing laboratory tools and assays to study and screen for molecules relevant to disease, including antibodies, cell-based tests, and drug screening methods. Recent work includes screening small molecules that block harmful protein clumping (associated with neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's), developing antibodies for cancer immunotherapy research in dogs and humans, and creating high-throughput methods using flow cytometry and microfluidics to test large numbers of potential drug candidates quickly.
