Most of our studies are based on optical spectroscopic techniques, mainly UV-Vis absorption and fluorescence. Other techniques, such as Rayleigh light scattering and atomic force microscopy (AFM) and recently Isothermal Calorimetry (ITC) are also used. We work in close collaboration with other groups, which cover a plethora of different techniques and approaches, from in vitro to in vivo studies.
