The theory of living matter group studies the physics of cells, tissues and organisms: How does the cellular machinery that segregates chromosomes during cell division work? How can dividing cells deform and ultimately split? How do the cells in our bodies give shape to organs? How can cells tell left from right? What are the forces and torques involved, how are they generated, and how are they organized across scales?

To shed light on these questions, we develop analytical and numerical techniques for deciphering the physics of life. We based at the Institute for Applied Physics of TU Wien where we are part of the research focus on Biophysics. Beyond that, we maintain active collaborations with leading experimental Labs from Vienna, in particular the and around the world.

We have openings PhD, Master, Bachellor and Project students! Get in touch!
