About Us
We study the function and structure of proteins using structural biology methods such as electron microscopy and protein crystallography, as well as by functional assays and interaction studies both in vitro and in cell culture.
Our interests include RNA metabolism, innate immunity, infectious diseases. We use structural models of proteins to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying selected human diseases or to aid drug discovery. We are also interested in proteins for which little structural information is available, so that we can answer vital questions about the activity and function of these proteins. Through our findings and inventions, we would like to help combat infections or treat human inflammatory disorders.
We hosted dr Katarzyna Bandyra (and her team), who now runs the Protein and RNA Structural Biology Group (website). We still share lab space, support staff and some research topics with this sister group.
