Biological physics

Biopolymers

Biopolymers are extremely functional materials, created by nature to perform very specialized tasks. We investigate the relationship between their internal structure and function, and how they affect the macroscopic properties of the materials they are a part of. More..

Membranes

Biological membranes are highly adaptive structures created by nature in order to localize functional machinery and structural units. An example is the very flexible double-layered membrane of the red blood cell. More..
