Vendruscolo Lab

An interdisciplinary lab that brings together concepts from chemistry, physics, and medicine to understand protein misfolding and self-assembly. @ChemCambridge

[Vendruscolo Lab @VendruscoloLab]

An insider look at the exciting, day-to-day science taking place in the Vendruscolo Lab in @ChemCambridge @Cambridge_Uni 🔬🧪👀

[The Science of Parkinson's @ScienceofPD]

New research from @mvendruscolo14 @VendruscoloLab & collaborators compares the phase behavior of four α-Synuclein isoforms & finds stark differences between them in their propensities to undergo phase separation & aggregation; #Parkinsons

[MariaMilanesi @MariaMilanesi8]

🔥Very excited to see our work just published in Science Advances! https://t.co/9NroW9yB28 "Transient interactions between the fuzzy coat and the cross-β core of brain-derived Aβ42 filaments". Grateful for the collaboration with @FBrotzakis, @mvendruscolo14, @VendruscoloLab.

[Ventura's Lab @PPMC_UAB]

It is always nicer collaborating than competing. In @BiophysJ we join the forces of @PPMC_UAB @VIB_Switch_Lab @VendruscoloLab @UniPadova & @UNI_FIRENZE #Aggregation #Predictors to study #Amyloid #Structure Lead by Fabrizio Chiti

[Faidon Brotzakis @FBrotzakis]

🚨Checkout our latest work in @ScienceAdvances on characterising Ab42 Alzheimer's disease brain derived amyloid fibrils structural dynamics using #MEMMI 🖥️ and #CryoEM 🧊data. Work with @MariaMilanesi8 @mvendruscolo14 @VendruscoloLab @Cambridge_Uni @BSRC_Fleming .

[Cláudio Gomes Lab - Protein Misfolding in Disease @ClaudioGomesLab]

Grateful for the great turnout at my seminar at @ChemCambridge on chaperones and protein aggregation in neurodegeneration 🧠 It was great to connect, discuss research and explore new collaboration opportunities with so many of you! @KnowlesLabCamb @VendruscoloLab @TWIN2PIPSA

[Fitzpatrick Laboratory @FitzpatrickLab]

A touching tribute by @CVR_Research & Colin Robinson honoring the remarkable life and contributions of Professor Sir Christopher M. Dobson, F.R.S.

A visionary scientist and outstanding mentor:

[Janin Lautenschlaeger @Janin865]

Just on my way back from Lisbon from the @TWIN2PIPSA workshop on Bioimaging and Protein Interaction. Thanks @ClaudioGomesLab and @VendruscoloLab for inviting me to present our work on alpha-synuclein phase separation in cells!!

[Cambridge Chemistry @ChemCambridge]

New AI predicts how proteins behave inside cells, starting as small droplets and condensing into larger ones.
This tool predicts how proteins come together using data that are extremely challenging to analyse traditionally.

[KnowlesLab Cambridge @KnowlesLabCamb]

Our latest paper by @Catherine_k_xu
- secondary nucleation is the source of both oligomers and fibrils in Parkinson's associated a-Synuclein aggregation. Fantastic collaboration with Linse lab
@SpillantiniLab and @VendruscoloLab

[Catherine Xu @Catherine_k_xu]

Very excited to share our work in @NatureComms! We show that a-synuclein oligomers and fibrils form by secondary nucleation on existing fibril surfaces https://t.co/LR20fQQX1W

[BioExcel CoE @BioExcelCoE]

Check out the latest episode (no.9) of the Phase Space Invaders podcast 🎙️ where Prof. Michele Vendruscolo talks about preventing protein misfolding, AI in drug discovery 💊 and the importance of good mentorship 🧠

[ML4NGP @ml4ngp]

Starting the 2nd day of #ML4NGPmeeting with an inspiring talk from @mvendruscolo14 @VendruscoloLab on #drug design for targeting disordered proteins #IDPs and inhibit #aggregation within condensates 🫧

What an amazing start👏

[The Science of Parkinson's @ScienceofPD]

The man, the myth, the legend: @StoDada just published a paper with @VendruscoloLab & @ChemCambridge colleagues demonstrating a possible therapeutic route for #Parkinsons based on the inhibition of alpha synuclein protein aggregation within condensates

[KnowlesLab Cambridge @KnowlesLabCamb]

Outcome of a great collaboration with @VendruscoloLab is now published! Well done @eaandrzejewska.

[Twin4Promis @Twin4Promis]

🎯Excited to share a new article about our #Twin4Promis partner, @mvendruscolo14 and his incredible team @VendruscoloLab from the @ChemCambridge ! 🌟

[The Science of Parkinson's @ScienceofPD]

New research from @robertihorne @KnowlesLabCamb @VendruscoloLab & colleagues presents a machine learning approach to identify small molecule inhibitors of α-synuclein aggregation, a process implicated in #Parkinsons & other synucleinopathies
https://t.co/n17CgiFM3A

[Eric Topol @EricTopol]

Now add #AI and structure-based drug discovery for screening 10X faster, 100X more potent , 1000X less cost for new potential small molecule drugs vs #Parkinson's disease

[Robert Horne @robertihorne]

Super psyched to see this published at last! We demonstrate a novel approach to slowing alpha-synuclein aggregation in #Parkinsons. A massive thank you to the @VendruscoloLab, @KnowlesLabCamb, Caughey, Ghetti and Sormanni labs.
