The research is coupled to both experiments and applications as our team collaborates with about 50 different experimental teams. The focus of research is on cross-disciplinary problems in the field where the traditional borderlines between physics, chemistry, and computational and medical sciences tend to vanish. The grand objective is to use computational simulations for considerations of phenomena that are relevant to health and disease.
From modeling point of view, we also develop and employ a variety of different techniques to allow studies of complex biomolecular systems over large scales in time and space. Consequently, one of our main objectives is to bridge nanoscale and macroscopic regimes in terms of multiscale modeling.
Concerning larger reseach efforts, our group is a partner in the
Furthermore, we are strongly committed to studying lipid-protein interactions and the mechanisms of how lipids modulate protein function in crowded membranes. These are the essence of the ERC Advanced Grant project that was awarded to us by the
