Statistical biophysics

Abstract microscopic-style image with blue and orange texture and multiple gray footprint-like shapes on a black background.

Research introduction

One example could be how biomolecules arrive at the right place in a cell to serve its function.

Often it is done by a process a mixture of random movement (often called random walks) and targeted transport, making it a challenge theoretically to figure out how fast the molecule reaches its destination. Advances have been made by the use of Bayesian statistical methods which allow us to quantify how good potential models for stochastic processes describe an experimental dataset.
