About me

  • Recently started a research group, based at Scilifelab and affiliated to MTC at ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡.

    We want to draw inspiration from biology and combine DNA and RNA design with evolution to select the sequences that perform best from large initial pools of candidate structures. We are interested in performing selection both computationally by high throughput simulation, and experimentally through in vitro selection experiments. We want to use these methods to produce stronger binders for proteins and viruses, and to better understand how DNA and RNA interact with cells.
