Biography

Alexei Pchejetski is a full professor at the Université de Montréal specializing in lysosomal biology and lysosomal storage diseases. His research focuses on understanding the fundamental mechanisms of lysosome function, targeting lysosomal enzymes, and the implications of lysosomal disorders such as mucopolysaccharidosis. Pchejetski's work involves identifying genetic mutations associated with these diseases and developing potential therapies, with a particular emphasis on lysosomal sialidases and N-acetyltransferases. He employs genetically targeted mouse models to investigate the roles of different neuraminidases in immune response and brain development. Additionally, Pchejetski is actively involved in the development and analysis of innovative therapeutic methods, including proteomics and phosphoproteomics, to identify new drug targets for various metabolic signaling pathways. His extensive research portfolio includes numerous grants and collaborations aimed at advancing the treatment of neurological lysosomal diseases.
