Switch Laboratory is an independent research group supported by the Flanders Interuniversity Institute for Biotechnology (VIB), located at the Free University of Brussels (VUB).Our research is geared on 3 topics that closely interact:1. protein (mis)folding, aggregation and amyloidosis with a particular attention for aggregation gatekeepers2. protein dynamics and signal transduction: how do conformational fluctuations of the native state achieve signal transduction and allostery?3. the effect of SNPs on the molecular phenotype of proteins: how does human genetic variability affect protein conformation and function?
