Prof. Dr. Peter Lang (IBI-4) - We use evanescent light scattering to study near-surface effects.
Prof. Dr. Pavlik Lettinga (IBI-4) - By mimicking the brain's microvasculature in 3D microfluidics and analysing the resulting deformation of red blood cells, we gain access to the main transport phenomena in the brain.
Prof. Dr. Simone Wiegand (IBI-4) - We reveal how temperature gradients drive biomolecular interactions, offering powerful insights into protein binding, hydration dynamics, fundamental non-equilibrium processes—and even the origins of life.
Dr. Emmanuel Stiakakis (IBI-4) - DNA is used as a programmable nanoscale bulding block for fabricating all-DNA and DNA-based particles with engineered shape and interaction potentials that could serve as model systems for exploring unconventional bulk phase behavior of diverse states of matter such as liquid crystals, crystalline phases and gels.
Dr. Kyongok Kang (IBI-4) - We explore the phase behaviors of proteins (lysozyme, BSA and others) in electric fields, as well as the field induced polarization.
