We study the molecular mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases, in particular how RNA-binding proteins become dysfunctional in ALS and FTD, for example through aberrant phase separation and aggregation.

Excited to share our recent work (www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...) led by PhD student Busra Ozguney & postdoc Priyesh Mohanty! We reveal atomic-level insights into how GU-rich RNA binding modulates the conformational ensemble of TDP-43 RRMs, promoting function and preventing misfolding.

We've been studying mechanisms of resilience that protect lysosomes from damage and wrote a review on the topic. We consider lysosomal stress and damage on a spectrum. Please help me share as this is my first post πŸ˜€ and I don't have many followers! πŸ™ Open Access: www.embopress.org/doi/full/10....
