Our Mission

Dedicated to unraveling the mysteries of metamorphic proteins, our lab explores the structural plasticity that underlies their unique properties. Recent publications showcase our groundbreaking research in this field.

Our Research

Exploring the dynamic nature of metamorphic proteins is at the core of our laboratory's work. We delve into the structural plasticity of these proteins, unraveling their intricate mechanisms and functions. Our research panel showcases various breakthroughs and findings, shedding light on the fascinating world of protein metamorphism. Dive into our research to discover the links between structure and function, and explore the potential applications of our work in diverse fields.

We are interested in how ELF3-mediated phase separation controls thermomorphogenesis and we aim to engineer crop-adapted variants to mitigate the effects of global warming.

We are also interested in the role of Chaperones and co-chaperones in modulating client proteins aggregation and phase separation key pathological hallmarks in neurodegenerative diseases

Trinucleotide repeat expansions alter protein structure and function, contributing to severe diseases, yet their structural mechanisms remain poorly understood. Examples as PHOX2b show that polyalanine expansions drive phase transitions into toxic condensates.
