Project
Bringing Physics and Chemistry to Life: from random walks to robust organization
Hans V. Westerhoff will put together the theoretical foundations of today’s biology in a comprehensive new theory, by researching and establishing connections between the various theoretical approaches in use.

Project
Bridging between the Physical and Biological Worlds
Living and non-living systems are strikingly different.

Project
Biological Chemistry: Metal transport by proteins
While DNA contains the genetic information, a large number of different proteins are the ‘workhorses’ in living organisms executing the orders given through the DNA code.
