Professor Ger Pruijn researches the structure and biological function of biomolecular complexes, particularly focusing on RNA-protein complexes that ensure the correct functioning of fundamental intracellular processes. His research has identified complexes that interact with antibodies linked to autoimmune disorders. Professor Pruijn's group investigates the role of post-translational protein modification in the development of autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and Type 1 diabetes. This research is crucial for the development of new diagnostic tests and drugs for autoimmune diseases. Additionally, a spin-off company, ModiQuest, utilizes the expert knowledge of Professor Pruijn's group to explore commercial applications of their findings.
