Michele Vendruscolo mostly deals with Protein structure, Protein folding, Protein aggregation, Biophysics and Biochemistry. Her Protein structure study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Crystallography, Chemical shift, Protein secondary structure and Molecular dynamics. Her Crystallography research includes themes of Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and Phi value analysis.

Her Protein folding research integrates issues from Folding, Structural biology, Computational biology and Threading. The various areas that Michele Vendruscolo examines in her Protein aggregation study include Amyloid fibril, Amyloid, In vitro and Peptide. Michele Vendruscolo has researched Biophysics in several fields, including Membrane, Lipid bilayer, Plasma protein binding and Nucleation.

Her most cited work include:

  • The amyloid state and its association with protein misfolding diseases. (1240 citations)
  • An analytical solution to the kinetics of breakable filament assembly (750 citations)
  • Proliferation of amyloid-β42 aggregates occurs through a secondary nucleation mechanism (727 citations)

What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Biophysics, Protein folding, Protein structure, Protein aggregation and Molecular dynamics. She focuses mostly in the field of Biophysics, narrowing it down to topics relating to Biochemistry and, in certain cases, Alpha-synuclein. Her Protein folding study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Folding, Computational biology, Ribosome and Transition state.

Her work deals with themes such as Computational chemistry and Biological system, which intersect with Protein structure. The concepts of her Protein aggregation study are interwoven with issues in Proteome, In vitro, Neurodegeneration and Drug discovery. Her research on Molecular dynamics also deals with topics like

  • Chemical physics, which have a strong connection to Molecule,
  • Crystallography which connect with Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

She most often published in these fields:
