Research
- Investigation of the effect of small photoactive
molecules on potential protein targets.
- Investigation of the factors affecting the
conformational changes and the aggregation of proteins
in solution and in model membranes.
Teaching
Teaching interests include all disciplines at the
interface between experimental physics and biology
(molecular biophysics, biophysical techniques,
photophysics, ultramicroscopy)
