The Labbot Research Team

Controlling protein solubility, assembly, and aggregation, with a focus on the biophysics of Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation (LLPS) and amyloid fibril formation in health, biotechnology, and food science.

Advancing bio-inspired materials design by exploring the structure-function relationships of biological macromolecules like silk, elastomeric proteins, and enzymes to create advanced, sustainable materials.

Applying advanced biophysical methods to study intrinsically disordered proteins, with a focus on their role in synaptic plasticity and regulating enzymatic reactions within biomolecular condensates.

Investigating the molecular mechanisms of protein aggregation and chaperone action, with a focus on neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.

Applying biophysical principles to understand protein self-assembly and stability, with the goal of designing advanced protein-based materials for drug delivery and improving the safety of biopharmaceutical formulations.
