My research focuses on the theoretical description of soft-matter systems. In particular the current project I lead tackles biological assemblies, such as virus capsids and its interplay between elastic, electrostatic and RNA interactions. The computational machinery my collaborators and myself have been developing is a combination of in-house, but efficient multiscale simulation methods, which aim to bridge several gaps standing in between computational and theoretical length and time scales. Our goal is to provide fundamental understanding of RNA-protein/lipid interactions and the processes on how a virus-like particle disassembles during replication as a starting point of the next-gen drug-developments.
