Welcome to the

Polley Research Group

The research in our group involves Soft matter Physics with emphasis on Biological Systems. 

How does a self-organizing living system made of molecules do "engineering tasks" like effective control and information processing? The characteristics of particular molecules, which are the fundamental components of a living thing, can be used to understand intricate biological processes. In order to accomplish this, we employ theoretical, multiscale modeling and experimental technique to identify particular molecules that are engaged in biological processes and to ascertain their molecular structures, organization, and properties.
