Non-Membrane Organelles

Non-membrane organelles are cellular structures that do not have a lipoprotein membrane surrounding them. Most of these organelles are made up of biomolecular condensates composed of proteins and nucleic acids, and play fundamental roles in regulating complex biological processes and maintaining cellular functions.

With advanced techniques in molecular, cellular and structural biology, LNBio stands out in research on the molecular mechanisms that regulate the function of these organelles. This group also works to identify small molecules that can modulate the functions of these proteins, and understand how they affect the formation of biomolecular condensates.
