Emil Thomasen
Emil was working with the J-protein (HSP40) molecular chaperone DnaJB6. DnaJB6 forms polydisperse homo-oligomers, but the mechanism and functional role of oligomerization remains unknown. His work is focused on understanding the oligomerization properties of DnaJB6 and the structural and functional effects of LGMD1D-associated mutations using native mass spectrometry, NMR and other biophysical techniques.
