***RESEARCH INTEREST***Simulation of model membranes and membrane bound species is in biophysics a frontier area of research seething with excitements and challenges. The availability of all the ingredients to investigate membranes, in-silico, opens new perspectives particularly in the biological front. The aim of my research is to take computer simulations to an extra level, where manipulation of molecular nano-objects in-silico, by reproducing realistic mechanisms, sheds light onto challenging multidisciplinary problems. TOPICS • Electroporation of cell membranes (drug and gene delivery, electroshock healing, antibacterial treatment).... • Transport through voltage-gated potassium ion channels (ion conduction and selectivity, regulation, mutations, chanellopathies) • Action of synthetic peptides on membranes (antibacterial action) • Interaction of carbon nanostructures with membranes and membrane proteins. • Membrane Oxidation, Mecanisms. • Development of Coarse grained force fields for biomolecular simulation
