Our research involves the study of the structure, dynamics and metal binding properties of amyloidogenic proteins that are involved in neurodegenerative diseases, such as new variant Creutzfeld-Jakobs Disease (vCJD) and Alzheimer's Disease (AD). Our work is divided between studies of the Prion protein (PrP) and the Amyloid-beta peptide fragments. Using a range of biomolecular spectroscopic facilities available here at Queen Mary, University of London, we employ a multi-faceted approach to the properties of these important proteins.
