Our research aims at understanding how biological activities are tailored to the cellular context and exploit these molecular mechanisms for drug discovery. We study the cellular roles of fuzzy protein interactions and the condensed states of proteins under physiological and pathological conditions. Using an interdisciplinary approach involving sequence-based predictions and experimental methods, we aim at opening novel therapeutic opportunities for diseases, where aberrant protein condensation has a causative nature.
