Since 2015, Tim has been at SAHMRI (South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute) in Adelaide, Australia where he studies the role of lysosomes in Alzheimer’s disease. His work has revealed key connections between lysosomal function and Alzheimer’s disease, particularly the importance of autophagy in clearing build up of a protein called tau, which is a hallmark of the disease.
