Xianshi Liu uses computational methods, particularly molecular dynamics simulations, to study how proteins linked to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), such as TDP-43, hnRNPA2, and FUS, misfold and clump together (aggregate) at the atomic level. This work examines how specific disease-associated mutations change protein shape and behavior, including a process called liquid-liquid phase separation, where proteins temporarily cluster into droplet-like structures inside cells, which can go on to form more permanent, disease-related aggregates.
