Janet Kumita<p>Hello! I am an MRC CDA fellow in the Pharmacology department at the University of Cambridge. Me and my research group are fascinated by the molecular mechanisms that underlie protein self-assembly. We work on strategies to prevent amyloid formation and we are using engineered biomolecular condensates to gain insights into how Nature utilises phase separation to facilitate protein degradation. <a href="https://mstdn.science/tags/neurodegeneration" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>neurodegeneration</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.science/tags/BiomolecularCondensates" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BiomolecularCondensates</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.science/tags/proteindegradation" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>proteindegradation</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.science/tags/introduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>introduction</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.science/tags/Proteindesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Proteindesign</span></a></p>
