The Essence – Red Blood Cells

Red blood cells are the central carriers of nutrients in the mammalian circulatory system, acting as the key transport unit in the body’s ‚highway.‘

Research Background

Exploring Biophysical Dynamics

My scientific work is dedicated to understanding the complex biomechanics of Red Blood Cells (RBCs) and their collective behavior under various physical conditions. This involves advanced experimental methods, particularly density gradient centrifugation, coupled with rigorous computational modeling.

I focus on key biophysical parameters, such as cytosol viscosity, and the theoretical modeling of phenomena like band formation in density gradients, using tools like Density Gradient Theory (DDFT).

Core Expertise

  • Experimental Biophysics
  • Numerical Modeling (DDFT, CFD)
  • Red Blood Cell Mechanics
