Biography

Michael Landreh is an Associate Professor at Uppsala University in the Department of Cell and Molecular Biology. His research focuses on mass spectrometry (MS), a technique that determines the exact weight of biomolecules, allowing for in-depth studies of protein folding, interactions, and functions. Landreh's work includes investigation into protein condensates formed through liquid-liquid phase separation, membrane protein interactions with lipids, and the mechanisms by which proteins form fibers, including spider silk. His group utilizes innovative MS approaches to study transient protein interactions and complex mixtures, aiming to understand diseases related to protein misinteraction, such as neurodegenerative disorders and cancers. By combining mass spectrometry with computational modeling and simulations, Landreh seeks to develop detailed models of membraneless organelles and improve drug development strategies for cancer and neurodegeneration.
