研究领域

Our research focuses on the physical principles underlying functional processes of bio-macromolecules by using integrated approaches of biomolecular NMR experiments and advanced molecular simulations. Our interests range from understanding protein dynamics and interactions to membrane proteins, intrinsically disordered protein states and supramolecular host-guest interactions.
