    Our research is focused on correlating structure and function in energy storage and conversion materials by advanced magnetic resonance methods. We aim to understand how the composition of materials affects their functionality and how we can control their functionality through deviation from ideal stoichiometry. In particular we are interested in materials for energy storage, such as Li and Na ion batteries, and in the role interfacial chemistry plays in the functionality of electrode and electrolyte materials. We use a wide range of magnetic resonance techniques: solid state NMR, Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) and Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP). Additionally we investigate the process of polarization transfer from electron spins to nuclear spins in solids DNP utilizing external and internal polarization agents.

    Molecular and Cell Biology of RNA viruses
    RNA viruses including corona, zika and dengue are a major threat to human health. We study how RNA viruses interact with their host cells and transform them into viral manufactories.
    Our main model is enteroviruses - common viral pathogens that cause severe medical complications in humans, with no available therapeutic treatments.
    We investigate how enteroviruses remodel the structure and function of host organelles to generate an environment favorable to virus replication.
    Another key question we tackle is how enteroviruses, that express only a small number of proteins, take control of human cells with complex protein machineries. We study the different roles of viral proteins and the mechanisms they use to hijack host machineries.
    We aim to piece together the complete program of enterovirus replication. This could lead to the development of new antiviral therapeutics.
