Department of Medicinal Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology, Purdue University. Jean-Christophe (Chris) Rochet obtained his PhD in the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Alberta. He then worked as a post-doctoral fellow in the laboratory of Dr. Peter Lansbury at the Center for Neurologic Diseases at Harvard Medical School. In 2002 he became a faculty member in the department of Medicinal Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology at Purdue University. The overall goals of his research program are to understand how protein aggregation and mitochondrial dysfunction contribute to Parkinson’s disease (PD). Dr. Rochet’s group has addressed these problems by exploring the structural and functional properties of PD-related gene products (e.g. alpha-synuclein, DJ-1) and by characterizing the neuroprotective effects of molecules with antioxidant activity, including various polyphenols. Ultimately the insights from these studies may stimulate the development of new strategies to treat patients with PD and other neurodegenerative disorders.
