| Research interest |
Computer simulations of biologically relevant systems with special focus on membranes and glycocalyx, using a multi-scale approach: from mean field methods to atomic resolution,
using classical molecular dynamics. The most relevant topics I work on are:
- Glycocalyx structure and functionality with special focus on their charged components.
- Membrane structure and membrane dynamics.
- Interaction of gold nanoparticles with membranes.
- Study of dynamics of proteins in the crowded cytosol environment.
- Study of GPCR dynamics in the plasma membrane.
- Modeling of Fluorescence Correlation microscopy in membranes (FCS) using molecular dynamics.
- Unraveling how composition of HDL nanoparticles (cholesterol carriers) modulates their structure.
- Test of force field accuracy of biomolecules, especially lipids.
- Development of tools to use for projects involving molecular dynamics simulations.
