Dr. Chua’s primary research interests are in neurodegenerative disease with a special focus on autophagy — an essential housekeeping process in cells that is particularly important for the health of neurons. Autophagy may provide a way to break down the buildup of toxic proteins found in neurodegenerative diseases, thereby forming the basis of new treatment strategies for these incurable conditions. He has received multiple research grants to support his work, including from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke and the American Academy of Neurology (AAN). He is the primary author and co-author of multiple peer-reviewed scientific publications and online learning modules as part of the AAN.
