研究领域

Professor Aguilar has a major research program that includes the role of peptide-membrane interactions in a variety of disease states, b-amino acid-based peptidomimetics and the development of new analytical tools for isolating membrane proteins. Specific project areas include: Regulation of G protein-coupled receptors via specific interactions with the plasma membrane. Mechanism of protein misfolding in Alzheimer's disease. Design of novel ligands for the treatment of cardiovascular disease and HIV. Peptide-based vaccines for the treatment of cancer. Design of novel antimicrobial peptides.
