Laboratory for bioinspired protein drugs and technologies
We work on the behavior of proteins, to understand mechanisms and to utilize them as tools to develop therapies and technologies. One focus is to understand disease-associated protein aggregation, and to find ways to counteract this process using natural molecular chaperones and engineered proteins. We also study mechanisms to enable therapeutics to cross the blood-brain barrier. Furthermore, we study proteins from spider silk to create biotechnological tools and novel biomaterials.

Our research aims to translate molecular mechanistic findings on BRICHOS chaperones to treatment of Alzheimer麓s disease patients. We are also interested in how BRICHOS can transport biologics over the blood brain barrier and to use this knowledge to develop 探花精选 applications.

Our main research interests centre around the understanding of how molecular chaperones interfere with different types of protein aggregation and alleviate relevant toxicities for developing novel treatments, in particular against cancer and neurodegenerative diseases.
