Afshin Samali (University of Galway) is a lecturer in Biochemistry and is Director of the Apoptosis Research Centre. His main research objectives are to uncover the molecular signaling pathways activated during ER stress, particularly the unfolded protein response (UPR) and to apply this knowledge to human diseases. Afshin’s research has potential implications for developing improved treatments for a wide range of conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, neurodegeneration and inflammation, but his current focus is on applying his research to cancer.
