Physics of multi-molecular assemblies and organelles

Research Synopsis

The dogma of structural biology is that “structure = function”, which has successfully guided the discovery of vast amounts of biomolecular structures. Yet function also depends on how these molecular structures are assembled into larger, multi-molecular entities. We are interested in the physics that underpins and defines the functional assembly and dysfunctional aggregation of such larger entities, crossing the scales from single molecules to cellular organelles.
