Welcome to our group
Our lab endeavors to understand the physical principles that control assembly and dynamical organization in biological and biomimetic systems. Because biological systems and their assembling structures can be orders of magnitude larger than the individual components that comprise them, we develop and apply computational and theoretical methods that bridge disparate length and time scales.
Our applications include the assembly of viral capsids and other large protein complexes, understanding the mechanisms of conformational transitions in enzymes, and active matter systems.
