Biological nanoscience
In the research groups of NSC, we investigate for example microbial processes in various environments, the functional mechanisms of bacteria and bacteriophages, virus-cell interactions, or the dynamics of cell nucleus and its interactions. In addition, in the research groups of biological nanosciences structures and the structural dynamics of proteins are under investigations. The information captured from these studies may be utilized for example in biomedical applications or in other technological systems.
Biological nanosciences are one of the most important disciplines in terms of new innovations. The field especially involves the development of new drugs, vaccines and diagnostic methods. In the research, for example, safe solutions are sought for the treatment of virus epidemics and pandemics, especially from nature, and phages are isolated from the environment and their use is developed to combat pathogens in fish production. In addition, the fight against human diseases with the help of phages is also being researched.
