Our research is focused on a quantitative understanding of how nano-sized objects, such as lipid nanoparticles and other drug delivery vehicles, interact with cells. We mainly perform experiments, but sometimes also make use of mathematical models.
On the more fundamental side, we follow the motion of nanoparticles and organelles inside cells, using approaches and concepts from glassy physics and active matter.
