Julien Mignon

Julien Mignon is a Research Fellow at the University of Namur, affiliated with the Unit of theoretical and structural physico-chemistry and the Namur Institute of Structured Matter. His work focuses on protein chemistry, structural biology, and biophysics, particularly on intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs), amyloid fibrils, and protein-protein interactions.

• Education: Bachelor (2019) and Master (2021) in Chemistry from the University of Namur.
• Research: Investigates the disorder-aggregation-properties relationships of IDPs like DPF3, aiming to develop antimitotic strategies using biophysical and molecular dynamics approaches.
• Awards: Recipient of the 2021 Prize for the best Master's thesis in Chemical Sciences and the 2022 EFID best scientific poster award.
• Projects: Principal Investigator (PI) for two FNRS-funded projects (2022-2024, 2024-2026) exploring DPF3's aggregation properties and therapeutic potential.

His recent publications highlight interdisciplinary applications of molecular dynamics, spectroscopy, and structural analysis to study protein conformations, fuzzy complexes, and bacterial secretion systems. Collaborations include contributions to Communications Biology and International Journal of Biological Macromolecules.
