Allosteric Modulation of Pathological Ataxin-3 Aggregation: A Path to Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type-3 Therapies biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

The public has a distorted view of science, because children are taught in school that science is a collection of firmly established truths. In fact, science is not a collection of truths. It is a continuing exploration of mysteries. - Freeman Dyson

I’m feeling grateful to have taken part in the latest Gordon Research Conference on CAG Triplet Repeat Disorders and honored to have received a Speaker Award! Huge thank you to everyone who made this possible: the team and collaborators I have the privilege to work with :)

🚨 Check our new #bioRxiv preprint! Our latest study focuses on pathogenic RNA repeat expansions and introduces a powerful new methodology for studying protein–metal interactions at the nanoscale. 📑biorxiv.org/content/10.110… ...🧶...

• 🔬 Novel synchrotron-based X-ray fluorescence microscopy (SXRFM) method enabling nanoscale protein localization, under near-physiological cryogenic conditions with 20–50 nm resolution, while simultaneously mapping 15+ trace elements’ distribution and concentration.

📢 Very happy to meet my colleagues from Max Planck MPI-Martinsried (Germany), Sandra Macedo & Pedro Pereira PIs in I3S Oporto. Former Prof Robert Huber colleagues are all around the world, a huge structural biologists community that shared an incredible time of discovery ✨️🚀
