The research in our group focuses on understanding the microscopic properties of condensed phase chemical processes, with particular emphasis on biological systems. We study both fundamental aspects of biomolecules in general, such as the effects of solvation on the structure and dynamics of proteins in both aqueous and membrane environments, as well as specific biochemical processes, such as the workings of molecular motors, and the binding of drugs to their targets. A significant part of our effort is devoted to the development of advanced methods for biomolecular simulations, which will allow us to study larger systems and probe longer timescales.
