The new emerging field of quantum biology studies the way quantum mechanics governs biological processes. True progress in this field, awaits for an interdisciplinary approach, leveraging knowledge gained and tools developed in other fields.
Our group applies state of the art pump and probe tools developed in our laboratory to study quantum materials, to understand some of the fundamental still unsolved processes in biology.
Projects of interest include:
What drives protein folding and unfolding and how can we control it?
How can we speed up catalysis?
What are the mechanisms that drive phase separation inside cells and what is their role in leading to ‘cancer cells’?
What is the role of topology, phase transitions and fluctuations in determining biological functions?
