Research in our lab focuses on using biochemical and biophysical characterisations of macromolecular interactions to elucidate the functions of intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs). We are particularly interested in biomolecular condensate formation by phase separation, and how cells utilise them as a molecular hub to regulate gene expression.
