We are excited to share the most recent MolTag publication about the rare disease Keppen-Lubinsky Syndrome resulting from a collaboration between the MolTag student Theres Friesacher and MolTag alumni Eva Maria Plessl and Harald Bernsteiner from the Weinzinger group as well as the lab of Nathan Dascal at Tel Aviv University.
The work combines Molecular Dynamics Simulations with electrophysiology experiments to look into the mechanism of this severe disease.
First author of the paper is Theres Friesacher, who is currently performing an internship abroad in the group of Nathan Dascal.
