Davide Marenduzzo 

Davide Marenduzzo is professor of computational biophysics at the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Edinburgh. His research interests include the biophysics of DNA and chromatin, cell motility, active matter and liquid crystal physics. Davide has coauthored about 250 articles in peer-reviewed journals. Highlights of his research include the discovery of the structure of the blue fog (blue phase III), and the proposal of the bridging-induced attraction leading to the formation of clusters of multivalent DNA-binding proteins. He recently wrote a book on DNA biophysics, "The Physics of DNA and Chromosomes" (IOP, 2018).
