Understanding how brain function is disrupted in neurological disorders requires investigating the molecular and cellular changes that affect neurons, glial cells, and their protein networks.
Our research lies at the intersection of microscopy, chemical biology, and molecular neurobiology. We develop and apply advanced tools—including super-resolution imaging, protein engineering, and bioorthogonal chemistry—to visualise and manipulate proteins in live cells and tissues with molecular precision.
Our work spans from studies at single-molecule resolution to the investigation of neurodegenerative processes, aiming to connect molecular changes to disease mechanisms and bridge basic neuroscience with translational research.
Major focus areas include neuroinflammatory diseases, such as multiple sclerosis, with particular interest in the mechanisms driving oxidative stress and neuroinflammation-induced axonal injury. Another core area is the development of novel technologies to study protein organisation and dynamics in living systems.
