Soft Matter and Functional Materials
Biophysics
The biophysics group is engaged in studies of structure and dynamics of biological macromolecules and membranes with neutron scattering methods.
Especially the interaction of neurotoxic peptides like ß-amyloid with lipid model membranes and time-resolved protein dynamics investigations are key aspects of activity.
The group runs the Membrane Diffractometer V1 and the BioLab, a user lab for preparing and characterizing samples prior and during neutron scattering experiments.
