The Collepardo group aims to understand the molecular and physical principles that govern the organization of biomolecular condensates and chromatin inside cells. Our focus is on how interactions at the atomic and molecular scale give rise to emergent mesoscale structures and properties.
To achieve this, we develop and apply multiscale computer simulations and theoretical models. Our work is deeply collaborative, carried out alongside experimental colleagues in biochemistry, structural biology, biophysics, cell biology, and physical chemistry, to connect computation with experiment and uncover the rules of cellular organisation.
