| Our group applies the principles of physics and
chemistry and the methods of mathematical analysis and computer
modelling to understand the structure,
dynamics, and functional mechanisms of biological systems and to apply
this knowledge to the design of nano-devices of technological
importance. |
 |
Our research can be classified
according to the following areas:
- Self-associated structures,
complexity and emergence
- Dynamic assembly of biomolecules
regulated by enzymes
- Biopolymer physics, soft condensed
matter and complex fluids
|
|
 |
and our methodology
includes:
- Molecular and microbiology
- Light, neutron and x-ray
scattering
- Nuclear magnetic resonance,
including micro-imaging
- Optical, fluorescence, scanning
probe and electron microscopy
- Molecular dynamics and computational
biology
- Physical modeling
