Zsuzsanna Dosztanyi

Zsuzsanna Dosztányi started her lab in 2014 at the Department of Biochemistry at the Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest. She graduated from the Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest with a degree in physics and biophysics. She worked in the lab of István Simon at the Institute of Enzymology investigating diverse aspects of proteins using computational methods. She also obtained post-doc experience in the lab of Andrew Torda at the Australian National University and the lab of Burkhard Rost at Columbia University. Her primary research interests focus on intrinsically disordered proteins. She developed the IUPred method for predicting disordered regions and the ANCHOR method for predicting disordered binding regions in proteins. Her current research follows two main directions: developing methods to identify functional regions in IDPs and understanding the role of disordered proteins in diseases.
