The main interest of the Dosztányi lab is to study how the sequence of intrinsically disordered proteins is related to their structural and functional properties and their involvement in various diseases. They developed various computational tools to aid research in this field, including prediction tools (e.g. IUPred and ANCHOR) and databases (e.g. DIBS, PhaSePro). The main task of the PhD student will be to develop novel methods to study interaction sites within IDPs by considering context information and to understand how these interactions shape interaction networks at the proteome level, focusing on cases with biomedical relevance.
