Experimental Biological Physics
In our laboratory we study the dynamics of biological systems. We use a variety of time-resolved optical techniques to study biological molecules – proteins in particular – in order to characterize the fast motions that occur during molecular folding and assembly. Our focus is on physical studies and modeling of the dynamics, rather than pure structural biology. Research interests also include the dynamics of gene regulatory networks, and especially noise, variability, and other heterogeneity in gene expression.
