Gesa Helms, Anil Kumar Dasanna, Ulrich S Schwarz, and Michael Lanzer. Modelling cytoadhesion of plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes and leukocytes: common principles and distinctive features.
I am a theoretical physicist at Heidelberg University and work on different subjects in the fields of soft condensed matter and biological physics. In particular, I am interested in the physics of cells (including forces and elasticity in cell adhesion) and the self-assembly of supramolecular complexes (for example adhesion contacts, viruses ...
