Intrinsically Disordered Proteins Lab

David Eliezer's research lab at Weill Medical College focuses on the intriguing role of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) in cell biology, particularly in how they interact with cellular membranes and contribute to important processes such as membrane trafficking and organization. The lab seeks to understand how these dynamic proteins achieve their functions despite lacking a stable structure, with implications in areas like neuron signaling and the formation of membraneless organelles. By studying specific protein models, the lab aims to shed light on the mechanisms that govern cellular organization and communication.
