Welcome to the Andersen Lab for Biomolecular Design

We design nano-scale devices using biomolecules as building blocks. Our research aims at understanding the fundamental principles of how biomolecules fold into unique and functional shapes and at using this insight to guide the design of novel nanoscale devices for both basic science and technological applications. This website provides an overview of our research group and our research and teaching activities.


About

The Andersen Lab is located at the Interdisciplinary Nanoscience Center, Faculty of Natural Sciences, Aarhus University, Aarhus, Denmark. We are also affiliated with the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics. If you are interested in working with us please contact Ebbe S. Andersen by phone or email.
