Tricia R. Serio joined the University of Washington as provost and executive vice president for academic affairs in 2023. A biochemist, Dr. Serio also holds a faculty appointment in our department. We are so happy to have her at UW. Dr. Serio’s research centers on prion proteins, which are associated with infectious neurodegenerative disease in mammals (e.g., mad cow disease and Creuzfeldt-Jakob Disease). Her work seeks to understand how these changes in shape are triggered with the goal of blocking or reversing them. BIO | DEPT PAGE
