The VAzquez Group

The Vázquez group uses multiscale molecular modeling to understand how protein oligomerization influences cellular phenomena. We are especially interested in understanding how oligomerization leads to large-scale changes in the cell and how those changes are influenced by molecular-level interactions. We use and develop multiscale modeling methods that are able simulate large-scale protein oligomers while still taking into account the underlying molecular-level processes. This multiscale view gives us an understanding of how small-scale molecular interactions lead to very large changes in the cell.
