Molecular Machines
This research area explores molecular machines—assemblies of proteins that execute crucial biological tasks at the nanoscale within living systems. We investigate how these molecular machines drive key cellular processes such as cell motility, DNA replication, protein synthesis, intracellular transport, cell division, and signal transduction, and how their malfunction or deregulation can lead to disease. Our work aims to uncover groundbreaking insights into the fundamental mechanisms of life, forming the foundation for innovative therapeutic strategies and driving progress in bioinspired technologies.
