Research Lines
Nanoparticles are revolutionizing medicine by enabling targeted drug delivery, imaging, and diagnostics at the molecular level. Using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, researchers can explore the interactions between nanoparticles and biological systems, optimizing their design for enhanced biocompatibility and efficacy. MD simulations provide insights into nanoparticle stability, membrane penetration, and drug release mechanisms, guiding the development of next-generation nanomedicines.
Nanoparticles
The interaction between surfaces and ions plays a crucial role in water purification, energy storage, and biomineralization. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations enable the study of ion adsorption, diffusion, and binding at the atomic level, providing insights into surface selectivity, charge distribution, and stability. These simulations help optimize materials for ion capture applications, including filtration membranes, biosensors, among others.
Surface and ion capture
Ion channels are essential for cellular signaling, nerve impulses, and homeostasis. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations allow researchers to investigate their structure, gating mechanisms, and ion transport at atomic resolution. By simulating ion permeation, ligand binding, and conformational changes, MD provides valuable insights into channel function, drug interactions, and disease-related mutations, contributing to the development of novel therapeutics.
