Lipid homeostasis in ageing and longevity
Ageing is characterised by the gradual decline of tissue function. This decline also increases susceptibility to multiple diseases, including cardiovascular…
Regulation of heterochromatin in response to genotoxic stress
The epigenetic memory of a cell is shaped by pathways that establish, erase and maintain chromatin marks. Lysine 9 methylation on…
Synthetic biophysics of protein disorder
We focus on studying intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs), which constitute up to 50% of the eukaryotic proteome. Paradoxically, they are most famous…
Proteome organisation & dynamics
The functional state of a cell is ultimately defined by the state of its proteome, i.e. abundance, localisation, turnover and mobility of all proteins and their…
Maternal mRNA regulation Gene expression ultimately depends on translation. Although mRNAs serve as templates for protein production, mRNA and protein levels often correlate poorly. Translational…
