User Experiences: Ellen Carrick, University of Bristol, United Kingdom

Ellen Carrick, a PhD student at the University of Bristol's Department of Physics, focuses on the study of soft matter, particularly the structural and colloidal stability of proteins. Her research has broad biological implications, including understanding cellular organization and disease pathways such as Alzheimer's.
Applications:
- Biomolecular Condensation: Ellen's work explores how intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs), which do not form stable secondary or tertiary structures, mediate biomolecular condensation.
- Disease Pathways: The research investigates how misfolding and aggregation of IDPs, such as the Tau protein associated with Alzheimer's, contribute to disease.
- Protein Self-Assembly: Studying the self-assembly of proteins provides insights into biological processes and disease mechanisms.
