We are a very happy to welcome Hridya VM who is joining PhyLife as a postdoc in Himanshu Khandelia’s research group. Hridya completed her PhD at the prestigious Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER), Pune. She joins PhyLife from July 2021 to investigate transport mechanisms in membrane proteins.
We are a very happy to welcome Francesca Serra who is joining PhyLife and FKF as associate professor in experimental physics. Francesca comes from a position at Johns Hopkins University where she has been since 2016. Her research is focused on applying concepts from liquid crystal physics to a wider class of systems such as …

Luise Jacobsen will defend her masters project titled ” Development of an Improved and Automated Hybrid Docking Method for Computationally Aided Drug Design.” Supervisor: Peter Jensen Husen Institut for Biokemi og Molekylær Biologi, SDU. Co-supervisor: Ilia Solov’yov, Institut for Fysik, Kemi og Farmaci. External Examiner: Günther H.J. Peters Institut for Kemi, DTU.
In a collaboration with The Danish Cancer Society, Mularski et al, from the Simonsen Lab, describes how simultaneous membrane binding of Annexin A4 and A5 suppresses 2D lattice formation while maintaining curvature induction. Hypothesis: Annexin A4 and A5 (ANXA4, ANXA5), both shown to be required for efficient plasma membrane repair (PMR) in living cells, bind …
In a collaboration with The Danish Cancer Society, Klenow et al, from the Simonsen Group, desribes how annexins A1 and A2 accumulate and are immobilized at cross-linked membrane−membrane interfaces. Rapid membrane repair is required to ensure cell survival after rupture of the plasma membrane. The annexin family of proteins is involved in plasma membrane repair …
The PhyLife Seminar on June 7th is hosted on Zoom. We are excited to welcome the following speakers: Konark Bisht (Himanshu Khandelia) – “Twitching mobility in confined surfaces.” Associate Professor Jasmin Mecinovic (FKF) – “Unravelling the chemical basis of epigenetics.”
The monthly PhyLife Meeting took place in Lykeion on May 3rd, 2019. Thank you to Dana Itskalov (visiting PhD student) with Morten Frendø Ebbesen and Lars Folke Olsen for two interesting talks. Dana Itskalov gave a talk about her project titled “Structure-dependent nanoparticle formation and anti-cancer effects of leucine-based precision peptide-polymer conjugates”. Lars Folke Olsen …
