Fawzi, Nicolas
Brown University, USA
The major focus of Nicolas Lux Fawzi’s work is directly visualizing the structural biology of protein phase separation in RNA-binding proteins in biomolecular condensates. At Brown University since 2013, his team has created tools for observing the structure and contacts of RNAs and proteins that hold together liquid-like assemblies. He has also used NMR to elucidate the connection between disease-associated mutations in RNA-binding proteins and the mechanistic biophysical changes that cause neurodegeneration.
