Jonas Cremer
Assistant Professor of Biology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe are a highly interdisciplinary research team, joined in our desire to better understand microbial life. To elucidate how bacterial cells accumulate biomass and grow, we work with the model organism Escherichia coli. We further focus on gut bacteria and their interactions with the human host. Our approaches combine quantitative experimentation and mathematical modeling.

Vinícius Wilian D. Cruzeiro
Postdoctoral Scholar, Chemistry
BioVinícius Cruzeiro's research with computational/theoretical chemistry aims at accurately describing the behavior of proteins, biomolecules, and related systems using molecular simulations, quantum mechanics, and machine learning representations while leveraging collaborations with experimentalists. This research area digs into fundamental aspects of nature at the intersection of physics, chemistry, and biology. Dr. Cruzeiro develops methodologies and software for molecular simulations and electronic structure calculations, including simulations to predict coupled electrochemical and pH effects, enhanced sampling techniques, and quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics approaches. Some of Dr. Cruzeiro's recent research interests include elucidating enzyme-catalyzed reaction mechanisms, making quantum calculations more accessible and efficient, describing the X-ray emission spectrum of liquid water, and providing quantitative predictions about the reactive update of N2O5 by aerosol particles in atmospheric chemistry.

Job and Gertrud Tamaki Professor of Chemistry
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur objective is to develop new biophysical methods to advance current understandings of cellular machinery in the complicated environment of living cells. Currently, we are focusing on four research areas: (1) Membrane curvature at the nano-bio interface; (2) Nanoelectrode arrays (NEAs) for scalable intracellular electrophysiology; (3) Electrochromic optical recording (ECORE) for neuroscience; and (4) Optical control of neurotrophin receptor tyrosine kinases.
