Complex Self-Organising Systems
Biological and synthetic soft matter has a remarkable ability to self-assemble into larger, complex and even functional structures solely using non-covalent interactions (e.g. electrostatic and hydrophobic forces). Dariush Hinderberger’s research group uses electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy  as its main research tool to study soft matter from the underlying  fundamental interactions to more applied questions. The research has  gained a special focus on complex biomedical questions (e.g. transport  proteins or intrinsically disordered proteins (IDP)) and applications  (e.g. smart systems for drug delivery).
