Combining Deep Learning and NMR Spectroscopy to characterise protein dynamics and interactions

The Hansen Lab focuses on the study of protein dynamics using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques. NMR method development is a major part of our research, including research into the analysis of NMR data using Deep Learning as well as the combination of NMR with computational tools. We are particularly interested in the dynamics, function, and regulations of human histone deacetylases (HDACs), domains of the von Willebrand Factor (vWF) and disordered viral proteins.
