Biophysics Platform
The Switch Laboratory established the expertise platform Molecular Biophysics Leuven, an interest platform of KULeuven-based research groups that utilise molecular biophysical techniques and instruments in their daily research.
Typically measured is protein folding, conformation and stability, as well as interactions betweens proteins, DNA and other biomolecules.
Switch hosts state-of-the-art equipment and offers expertise and training to other research groups.
