Seminar Series on Self-Assembling Biological Systems
Prof. Thomas Schwartz


Self-Assembly of macromolecules, notably proteins, is of central
importance for any living cell. These self-organized systems come in
an astonishing number of flavors and many we are just beginning to
appreciate. Technically often challenging to study, this series
highlights some of the most recent findings from a broad spectrum of
these systems.
