Research interest
-Protein folding, misfolding and aggregation in vitro and in situ studied by biophysical approaches, including infrared spectroscopy and micro-spectroscopy, optical spectroscopies (absorption, florescence, circular dichroism), and mass spectrometry. Major research topics: 1) protein stability; 2) amyloid aggregation; 3) structure-function relation; 4) aggregation of recombinant proteins; 5) protein-protein and protein-ligand interactions; 6) nano- and bio-materials.
-Bioanalytical applications of spectroscopic methods. Major research topics: FTIR (micro)spectroscopy of complex biological systems; in situ studies of biological processes; spectroscopic markers of neurodegenerative disorders in biofluids.
