About Me
Our group uses theory and computational tools to probe intrinsic biomolecular structure and dynamics, and their behavior on nano-interfaces. We are particularly interested in protein folding, misfolding and amyloidogenesis, which is linked to a variety of "protein aggregation disorders" such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Huntington's dieases. We attempt to modulate the thermodynamics and kinetics of their aggregation pathways with suitable nanomaterials; this may have deep relevance in the search of novel therapeutics. We are also interested in fluid behavior within nano-channels, as well as the coupling of solvent behavior to biomolecular dynamics.
