Living Matter Theory
Our research is on the nexus of non-equilibrium physics, biochemistry, and living matter.
We study fundamental questions in living and soft matter using physical and mathematical approaches, including state-of-the art AI.
Current subjects include:
1) Physics of protein machines
2) Quantum concepts in dissipative classic systems.
3) Hierarchical organization of living matter.
For further details see our publications.
