Biomacromolecular phase separation and Polymer Physics research group

Welcome to our research group at IIT Indore! We use computational and theoretical tools to uncover the role of phase separation of proteins/RNA/DNA on biochemical reactions. We use computer simulations to uncover rich polymer physics associated with biomolecular condensates, under both equilibrium and non-equilibrium conditions. We also engineer better enzymes for efficient biofuel production using computational tools.
