How can DNA condensate despite its negative charge? Implications in genome regulation, antibiotic resistance and gene therapy

  Research Group: Physics of Life
DNA molecules, being highly negatively charged, naturally repel each other. However, in the presence of multivalent ions or specific proteins, they can overcome this repulsion and condense into compact structures. Read more

Novel Nanoswimmers - exploring novel routes to propulsion at the nanoscale.

Nanoswimmers are nanoscale objects that propel themselves through liquid environments. The combination of their size ( 1x10-9m), and the apparent viscosity at this scale, results in propulsion strategies that often mimic those found in nature at this scale. Read more
