Interests and Projects
In this group, we mainly
focus on proteins - their structure, activity, stability, aggregation and more.
Recently one of our tasks is inducing mutations in specific genes using genetic
engineering techniques, producing mutant proteins, and then analyzing protein
activity, protein aggregation levels, or even, in later stages, treating the
produced protein with cells or injecting it into a mouse model to study its
characteristics and potential effects. Our goal is to identify the potential causes
of diseases, especially conditions like Alzheimer’s and some skin related
disorders. Additionally, by utilizing databases and bioinformatics tools, we
aim to understand the involved signaling network
