Abstract
Protein aggregation into amyloid structures is associated with an increasing number of human diseases, but they can be also be used for functional purposes. In our group, we combine experimental and theoretical approaches to study the underlying mechanisms behind this phenomenon. In the present talk, I will illustrate how this strategy can be used to find therapeutic avenues for the Transthyretin amyloidosis or to uncover a human sub-proteome of prion-like proteins.
Series This talk is part of the Biophysical Seminars series.
