Professor Bustamante is a world-renowned expert in single-molecule biophysics and a Full Professor of Molecular and Cell Biology, Chemistry and Physics at the University of California, Berkeley, USA.
His pioneering work has significantly advanced our understanding of the physical behaviour of biological molecules. Using techniques such as optical tweezers, atomic force microscopy and fluorescence microscopy, Professor Bustamante has provided key insights into molecular motors, protein and RNA folding, and the mechanisms of gene expression and regulation.
We are honoured to host Professor Bustamante at the Soft Matter Lab and look forward to exciting scientific exchanges and collaborations during his visit.
His visit is currently planned between 28 April and 27 May 2025.
An additional visit, yet to be confirmed, might take place during the fall of 2025.
