Theory of Biomolecular Matter

The research of the Theory of Biomolecular Matter group is focussed on modelling structures and processes in living cells involving the spatio-temporal organisation of biomacromolecular matter.

Current research projects:

• Chromatin organisation
• Cellulose biosynthesis and the architecture of the plant cell wall
• Dynamical self-organisation of the cytoskeleton
• The physical mechanisms of tip growth in cells
• Spatio-temporal processes in plant-microbe interactions leading to organ formation
