Research Activities
Study of proteins associated with conformational diseases, investigating the impact of metal ions and UV radiation on the aggregation processes. Some of the systems that I am working include:
The effect of Zn(II) on the amyloid aggregation of amylin, a peptide involved in the development of diabetes mellitus.
The effect of metal ions on the aggregation of the light chain antibody 6aR24G, involved in the light chain amyloidosis disease.
Effect of UV radiation on the aggregation of crystallins, involved in the development of cataracts
