Masako Lien Petty Le-Maciukiewicz, MD, MSc
Affiliate, Pathology VA Faculty PTAs
BioMy research is centered on neurodegenerative and ocular diseases, with a focus on the unfolded protein response, specifically the PERK pathway. Through my work, I investigate the cellular mechanisms underlying diseases like Alzheimer's and advanced tauopathies, with an emphasis on mitochondrial dysfunction and ER stress.
As I continue to deepen my understanding of disease pathology, I am also pursuing a residency in pathology (ECFMG-Certified, AAMC: 14765627), with a particular interest in neuropathology and forensic pathology. Alongside my primary research, I have been involved in a forensic pathology project, applying my skills from my previous studies in forensic science, further exploring my passion for understanding disease processes and the human body through both clinical and investigative lenses.
In addition to my research and forensic work, I have enjoyed shadowing in clinical settings, which has reinforced my commitment to a career in pathology.
