Research interests

In our lab we investigate how biological macromolecules can manage to interact with each other with high specificity, and how sequence information determines macromolecular structure and function. To achieve this, we combine state of the art high-throughput measurements of molecular binding with simulations and mathematical modeling. Our goal is to gain a deep and quantitative understanding of life at the molecular level.

We have Postdoc, PhD and project student positions available!

Reach out if you are interested in using high-throughput binding measurements and quantitative modeling to explore the molecular mysteries of life.
