Generate a tailored SOP for Dr. Bernardo Bonilauri. Improve your application with a focused, well-structured draft.
Bernardo Bonilauri is a molecular biologist investigating fundamental mechanisms of protein misfolding, cryptic peptides, and non-canonical codes in human biology and disease. He completed his postdoctoral training at Stanford Cardiovascular Institute under the mentorship of Dr. Joseph C. Wu and was appointed as an Instructor. In his role, he continues to develop advanced in vitro disease models to probe the molecular and cellular processes underlying human pathology. Dr. Bonilauri's research focuses on Transthyretin Amyloidosis (ATTR) and related protein misfolding disorders, applying multi-omics, structural biology, and stem cell-based platforms to dissect how pathogenic aggregates form and impair cellular function. Additionally, he investigates microproteins encoded by small open reading frames (sORFs), emphasizing their translation, subcellular localization, and biological functions in human cells.
