I am a PhD student in Prof. Dr. Lukas Stelzl’s lab at JGU. My research largely focuses on the use of multi-scale simulations for detailed analysis and understanding of the functions of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs), which play a major role in several neuro-degenerative diseases, for example, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS ) and frontotemporal dementia.

The primary goal of my PhD is to understand the role of post-translational modifications on IDPs phase separation, heterotypic/homotypic interactions that leads to IDPs aggregation, and viscoelastic properties of the resulting aggregates.

In summary, my research has interdisciplinary components involving physics, biology and chemistry. As a physicist I see great value in being part of a multidisciplinary platform. It would definitely enhance my knowledge of other fields and could provide opportunities for future collaboration.
