Research and work

Research focus

  • type VII collagen: structure, interactions, and role in autoimmune disease (EBA)
  • NMR-based metabolomics in inflammation, autoimmunity, and cellular senescence
  • identification of disease-associated metabolic profiles and biomarkers

Methods & approaches

  • high-resolution NMR spectroscopy (protein interactions, metabolomics)
  • surface plasmon resonance (Biacore)
  • protein biochemistry and structural characterization
  • statistical analysis of metabolomic datasets

Expertise

  • molecular mechanisms of EBA and Type VII collagen biochemistry
  • structure–function analyses of protein domains
  • NMR-based investigation of metabolic alterations
  • biophysical characterization of disease-relevant processes
