Dr. Stephen Meredith

Biography

Stephen C. Meredith, MD PhD, is a Professor in the Department of Pathology at the University of Chicago. His research focuses on the structural biology of amyloid fibrils and the role of phosphorylation in protein function. Dr. Meredith has published extensively on the molecular mechanisms underlying amyloidogenesis and its implications in neurodegenerative diseases. His significant works include studies on the sensitivity-enhanced solid-state NMR detection of unique polymorphs of brain-derived synthetic amyloid-β fibrils and the molecular dynamics of water channels in synthetic amyloid-β fibrils. He has also investigated the role of microRNA in colon cancer and the implications of various core peptides in amyloid aggregation. His ongoing research aims to elucidate the complexities of amyloid structures and their interactions within biological systems, carving paths towards potential therapeutic approaches for diseases linked to protein misfolding. With numerous publications to his name, he actively contributes to the field through innovative research and collaborations.
