Monther Abu-Remaileh, PhD, is an assistant professor of chemical engineering and genetics at Stanford University. He is an expert in lysosome biology and metabolism, and his team develops and uses multidisciplinary approaches — including metabolomics, proteomics and functional genomics — to study the biochemical functions of the lysosome. His lab is committed to achieving a molecular understanding of lysosomal dysfunction in Parkinson’s disease (PD), a mechanism that has been implicated in PD pathology. Dr. Abu-Remaileh earned his BSc in genetics from Jordan University of Science and Technology and his doctorate from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and completed his postdoctoral training at MIT.
