Research

---

Our research project consists of joint research to enhance IDP research by characterizing the conformational ensembles of IDPs, their interactions and extending knowledge about IDPs with disease relevance, as well as studying use cases in the partner labs. The staff-exchanges, training and mentoring activities will contribute to honed skills and expertise, which can be translated into capacitating outcomes for the specific needs at ELTE, while providing the leading partner institutions novel experimental models and joint supervisions of research students. The parallel projects will create synergies between ongoing activities, helping to gain a broader perspective on the IDPs involved in diseases and their potential biomedical applications.

Introducing our project

---

The primary aim of IDP2Biomed is to enhance competence and expertise at ELTE with knowledge, tools and methods to transform it into a leading center in IDP research in Europe and worldwide. This vision will be achieved through the initiation and establishment of a range of strategic activities and collaborations with three high-profile research institutions and their extended networks, which ELTE has identified as role models in protein science with their exemplary success in valorization of research and its translation. Objectives

1. To enhance the scientific excellence of IDP research at ELTE
2. To increase scientific capacity and resources of ELTE staff and researchers
3. To strengthen the research management and administration skills of ELTE
4. To enhance the ability of ELTE to disseminate and communicate research outcomes and its capacity to exploit research outputs

Our expectation is that upon completion of the proposed Twinning program, ELTE will become a hub of excellence in the field of IDPs with an ability to address major biomedical applications.
