We study the molecular mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases, in particular how RNA-binding proteins become dysfunctional in ALS and FTD, for example through aberrant phase separation and aggregation.

Highly recommended read from the Banerjee lab!
Happy to share our new preprint on small molecule mediated inhibition of aging of biomolecular condensates.
In our new preprint, we study the physical aging of biochemically active condensates of an engineered Tau protein into disease-linked fibrils — and investigate whether small molecules can counteract this transition.
