I’m very happy and honoured for having been invited to give a talk at the RTG2467 Summer School on Intrinsically Disordered Proteins (7-11 September, Zbiroh Castle, Czechia).
September 14, 2026 at 9:01 AM
Beyond the fantastic venue, this has been an opportunity to catch out with pioneers in the field such as Vladimir Uversky and Peter Tompa but also to hear about the ongoing scientific projects from very talented PhD students of the RTG 2467 network.

Cysteine Redox State Governs the Condensation Pathway of Hendra Virus W Protein and Differentially Impacts Type I IFN and NF‐κB Signaling
The cysteine redox state of the Hendra virus W (WHeV) protein controls assembly into fibrils or amorphous aggregates, with residues 2–29 required for fibrillation. In cells, WHeV forms different type...

I'm very happy to share this paper of mine just published today. Another compelling example that intrinsically disordered regions (in enzymes) do play a functional role and deserve investigation - instead of being removed prior to enzyme characterization.
