Abstract:

We have recently developed a powerful algorithm to predict protein-RNA associations

that we validate using a series of assays including immunoprecipitation of

protein-RNA complexes. At the same time, we work on the prediction of interactomes

of amyloid fibrils in the cellular context and develop models for calculating aggregation 

rate and the interaction  potential with molecular chaperones. A series of bioinformatics 

tools to predict toxicity under a variety of experimental conditions will be presented."
