Three scales. One molecular story.
From the choreography of RNA–protein complexes to the conflict between phages and bacteria, our work connects mechanism with biological consequence.
TIRF · smFRET · kinetics
Single-molecule biophysics
Using TIRF microscopy, we follow individual molecules in real time and reveal the transient interactions hidden by ensemble measurements.

Post-transcriptional regulation
We investigate how RNA targeting, degradation and translation are coordinated in bacteria — and how the Hfq chaperone helps small RNAs find their targets.

Phages · CRAB · proteomics
Phage–host interactions
We map the molecular dialogue between bacteriophages and antibiotic-resistant bacteria to uncover phage factors with antimicrobial potential.
