As a member of Dr. Nicolas Fawzi’s laboratory at Brown, Noah Wake focused his research on understanding the role of Intrinsically Disordered Proteins in neurodegenerative diseases, and characterizing the structural and residue specific contributions to complex assemblies such as biomolecular condensates. On October 31st, 2025 Noah successfully defended his PhD thesis entitled “Uncovering the Rules of Phase Separation and Liquid-to-Solid Transition of the ALS-Linked RNA-binding Protein Fused in Sarcoma." Afterward, Noah enjoyed a celebration on campus with his Advisor, Dr. Nicolas Fawzi, and Brown students, faculty and staff.

Congratulations, Dr. Wake!
